Self-evaluation is believed to be influenced by feelings of acceptance and rejection. Previous research has indicated that individuals may evaluate themselves positively or negatively across various domains to gain social acceptance and avoid rejection. However, there is no empirical evidence showing the association between self-evaluation and the sense of acceptance and the sense of rejection. In our study, we found correlations between activity in different brain regions during self-evaluation in various domains and the sense of acceptance and the sense of rejection. These findings were presented at the 50th meeting of the European Brain and Behaviour Society (Ding).
