Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, based on the functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging technique, we aimed to reveal the influence of social factors such as critical opinion by authoritative others on the preference of individual person. Here, we investigated the reactions of male subjects when giving female group opinion or male group opinion.

We studied mainly two cases: The negative opinion from the authoritative others group and the negative opinion from the non-authoritative others group. As the results, is was found that the brain activity pattern of the frontal pole cortex is related to the degree of authority of the group. More detail investigation will be done with more number of participants in future study.
