Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>The primary objective is to examine the neural correlates of punishing and<br /><br>rewarding others. We will examine whether we will find increased activation in<br /><br>brain regions associated with internal conflict during punishing<br /><br>non-cooperation than during rewarding cooperation.</p><br>

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>An additional objective is to examine the impact of punishing and rewarding<br /><br>only mildly (non-)cooperative behavior compared to the impact of punishing and<br /><br>rewaring more severe (non-)cooperative behavior. We will thus include different<br /><br>types of (non-)cooperative behavior and compare brain and behavioral responses<br /><br>to these different types of behavior.</p><br>
