The self-concept, defined as beliefs about oneself, showed good test-retest reliability in neural brain activation when comparing self, familiar, and unknown person contrasts, but lower reliability when comparing self to familiar/unknown person, likely due to high correlation between contrast conditions. Further research on self-evaluation should consider local reliability differences in the brain and employ methods to overcome these limitations.
The self-concept-defined as the cognitive representation of beliefs about oneself-determines how individuals view themselves, others, and their actions. A negative self-concept can drive gaming use and internet gaming disorder (IGD). The assessment of the neural correlates of self-evaluation gained popularity to assess the self-concept in individuals with IGD. This attempt, however, seems to critically depend on the reliability of the investigated task-fMRI brain activation. As first study to date, we assessed test-retest reliability of an fMRI self-evaluation task. Test-retest reliability of neural brain activation between two separate fMRI sessions (approximately 12 months apart) was investigated in N = 29 healthy participants and N = 11 individuals with pathological internet gaming. We computed reliability estimates for the different task contrasts (self, a familiar, and an unknown person) and the contrast (self > familiar and unknown person). Data indicated good test-retest reliability of brain activation, captured by the self, familiar person, and unknown person contrasts, in a large network of brain regions in the whole sample (N = 40) and when considering both experimental groups separately. In contrast to that, only a small set of brain regions showed moderate to good reliability, when investigating the contrasts (self > familiar and unknown person). The lower reliability of the contrast can be attributed to the fact that the constituting contrast conditions were highly correlated. Future research on self-evaluation should be cautioned by the findings of substantial local reliability differences across the brain and employ methods to overcome these limitations.
