Procedure fMRI experiment. This illustrates the setup of the fMRI experiment. Starting with a functionality test of the response device (button test), followed by the 3 runs of the paradigm. During baseline, no trials were manipulated. However, in run 2 (technical frustration), 9 of 18 trials were manipulated, and during run 3 (after social provocation), 8 of the 15 trials. After the second run, the experimenter initiated the social provocation, accusing the participant of insufficient motivation. After the paradigm, a resting-state measure was performed (not analyzed here), following which the participants were debriefed while still in the scanner.
