TL;DR
It is suggested that personality affects loss‐related processing through the lateral OFC, and a dissociation of personality dimension and loss type on the neuronal level is proposed.
Abstract
A negative outcome can have motivational and emotional consequences on its own (absolute loss) or in comparison to alternative, better, outcomes (relative loss). The consequences of incurring a loss are moderated by personality factors such as neuroticism and introversion. However, the neuronal basis of this moderation is unknown. Here we investigated the neuronal basis of loss processing and personality with functional magnetic resonance imaging in a choice task. We separated absolute and relative financial loss by sequentially revealing the chosen and unchosen outcomes. With increasing neuroticism, activity in the left lateral orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) preferentially reflected relative rather than absolute losses. Conversely, with increasing introversion, activity in the right lateral OFC preferentially reflected absolute rather than relative losses. These results suggest that personality affects loss-related processing through the lateral OFC, and propose a dissociation of personality dimension and loss type on the neuronal level.

Three aspects of motivational opponency involving dopamine and serotonin are considered; it is suggested that a tonic serotonergic signal reports the long-run average reward rate as part of an average-case reinforcement learning model; that aTonic dopaminergic signalReports theLong-Run average punishment rate in a similar context; and finally speculate that a phasic serotonin signal might report an ongoing prediction error for future punishment.

32 Citations2003Thomas Rammsayer, Jutta Stähl
Although there were no extraversion-related differences in mean reaction time, introverts showed higher N1 amplitudes and shorter P3 latencies compared to extraverts, and response-locked LRP latencies were reliably shorter for extraverts than for introverts, providing first direct evidence for the contribution of central processes related to motor activation to account for extraverted-related individual differences.
