The Effects of Self-Oriented Perfectionism and Neuroticism on Error Processing: an ERP study
Abstract
To investigate the effect of self-oriented perfectionism and neuroticism on error processing, we examined the ERN(Error-related negativity) and Pe(Error positivity). Participants were pre-screened to be either high or low scorers on SOP(self-oriented perfectionism) scale and neuroticism scale: high-SOP with high-Neuroticism, low-SOP with high-Neuroticism, high-SOP with low-Neuroticism, low-SOP with low-Neuroticism. When participants performed the Eriksen flanker task, EEG was recorded and analyzed for correct and error responses. Behavioral data showed that error responses were faster than correct responses, and low-Neuroticism participants were faster than high-Neuroticism participants. Analysis of peak amplitudes of ERN and CRN(Correct response negativity) showed that ERN had enhanced negative deflections relative to CRN, and high-SOP participants had enhanced negative deflections on ERN relative to low-SOP participants, but no effect of neuroticism was found. Analysis of peak amplitudes of Pe and Pc(Correct response positivity) showed that Pe had enhanced positive deflections relative to Pc, and no effect of perfectionism was found. But, among low-SOP participants, high-Neuroticism participants had attenuated positive deflections on Pe relative to low-Neuroticism participants. Also, the analysis of amplitude difference between peak amplitudes of error response and those of correct response is in line with the analysis of peak amplitudes. Thus, we found perfectionism effect on ERN which was not modulated by neuroticism, and found neuroticism effect on Pe which was modulated by perfectionism. These results suggest that, at the early stage of error processing, ERN is affected by self-oriented perfectionism, so enhanced negative deflections of ERN could be elicited by exacting standards for oneself and a salient motivation for attaining perfection. Whereas, at the later stage of error awareness, Pe is affected by neuroticism, so decreased positive deflections of Pe could be elicited by negative emotion and attention-control difficulties. But the effect of neuroticism on Pe could be eliminated by high level of self-oriented perfectionism.
