15. For example, individuals with particular personality traits, such as anxious individuals or those with a tendency for Machiavellian behavior, may have generally higher LPFC activity and a generally higher propensity to respond to sanctions, but apart from their covariation, these two variables may not directly influence one another. Alternatively, it is also possible that rather than being the cause of norm compliance, brain activation in the rLPFC is merely the consequence of norm compliance. In other words, individuals who respond more strongly to the sanctioning threat may recruit the rLPFC more strongly as a result of their choice.
