To better understand the above corr

To better understand the above correlations, we furtheranalyzed correlations between loneliness scores and N400 ofinclusion verbs and N400 of exclusion verbs separately. Resultsshowed that at the right hemisphere of posterior area, there wasa weak correlation between mean N400 amplitudes elicited byinclusion verbs and loneliness score (r = 0.313, p = 0.086),indicating a trend that inclusion verbs trigger larger N400 whenindividual’s sense of loneliness got higher. However, lonelinessscores were not significantly relevant to inclusion N400 at the leftor midline posterior area (both p > 0.1). Moreover, N400s elicitedby exclusion verbs at posterior positions were not correlated withloneliness scores (all p > 0.2).
