SUMMARY:The reward value of having our social expectations confirmed [	\n		
 			Behavioral and Management Sciences\n					Seminars\n			\n	]
DESCRIPTION:By:  Dr. Niv Reggev\n Advisors: \n Where: Bloomfield 527 From:\
 nBen Gurion University \nABSTRACT\n\nExpectations about other individuals 
 shape many of our social interactions. But what happens when these expecta
 tions come about? In this talk\, I will suggest that it is intrinsically r
 ewarding for us to successfully use stereotypes and other sources of knowl
 edge to predict other individuals. In a set of pre-registered studies (tot
 al N &gt\; 1000)\, participants consistently chose to interact with stereo
 type-confirming targets\, even when making such choices entailed forgoing 
 higher monetary amounts. To provide further support for the subjective val
 ue of stereotype-confirmation\, two separate groups of participants underw
 ent fMRI scanning (total N=58) while rating expectation-confirming or expe
 ctation-violating targets. Reward-related regions increased their activity
  to expectation-confirming relative to expectation-violating information. 
 We found this effect for expectations emanating from stereotypes as well a
 s for expectations emanating from knowledge about famous individuals. Toge
 ther\, these findings indicate that participants subjectively value the su
 ccessful prediction of social targets. This subjective value may underlie 
 the motivation to confirm our expectations while interacting with – and 
 interpreting information about – other individuals.
