Studies from a microscopic and macroscopic perspective"^^ . "Social cognition, as of the fundament of social interaction, is central to our daily social life. Although the\r\npast two decades have witnessed a huge increase in academic interest in social cognition, knowledge\r\nof the neural correlates of social cognition is still limited. With a growing number of studies investigating\r\nsocial cognition with a neuroscientific approach, a well-framed structure based on systematic\r\nperspectives to understand social cognition is urgently needed. The present dissertation attempted to\r\ninvestigate social cognition from two domains based on the idea what influences social cognition, the\r\nso-called microscopic perspective on the individual and the macroscopic perspective on the culture.\r\nFrom the microscopic perspective, the effects of schizophrenia risk factors (including schizotypy and\r\nrs1344706 SNP) on neural correlates of social cognition were investigated in a healthy German sample.\r\nThe results show associations between schizotypy, as well as the risk allele of the rs1344706 SNP and\r\nposterior superior temporal sulcus (pSTS) activation in response to neutral facial stimuli, suggesting\r\nright pSTS dysfunction in response to neural social stimuli might present an endophenotype for\r\nschizophrenia. Furthermore, these findings give evidence on the microscopic perspective proposed\r\nabove that neural correlates of social cognition can be influenced by risk factors for mental illnesses in\r\nhealthy participants.\r\nRegarding the macroscopic perspective, the cultural effects on neural responses to different facets of\r\nsocial categorization were investigated with participants from different ethnicities. During the ethnicitybased categorization, the Chinese group showed higher ventral medial prefrontal cortex (MFC)\r\nactivation for categorizing in-ethnicity versus out-ethnicity faces than the German group, even inethnicity bias was not observed in the Chinese group on the behavioral level. Since ventral MFC is welldocumented to be associated with representing the preference of stimuli even in an unconscious or\r\nautomatic fashion, the increased ventral MFC activation in the Chinese group may indicate that they\r\npresent higher in-ethnicity preference than the German group. Further, increased dorsal MFC activation\r\nin response to in-team versus out-team faces was found in both ethnic groups during team-basedcategorization, inferring that the dorsal MFC might be a generalized neural code for encoding in-team\r\nmembers across ethnicities. In addition, by comparing the contrasts of in-team versus in-ethnicity and\r\nout-team versus out-ethnicity, the results suggest that ethnicity-based and team-based categorization\r\nprobably presenting different dimensions of social categorization (such as perceptual- and knowledgebased categorization).\r\nTo summarize, the present dissertation aimed to advance the understanding of social cognition from\r\nmicroscopic and macroscopic perspectives. Such an approach might transfer to the clinical and\r\npsychotherapeutic field for developing more generalized interventions and treatments across ethnicities\r\nto prevent people from mental disorders or to optimize interventions for people with mental illnesses."^^ .
