We note that in additional analyses treating out-degree centrality as continuous, the interaction effect between out-degree centrality and neural responding remained significant in the negative affect ROIs ( p = .044; Table S5 ) and was marginally significant in the social pain ROIs ( p = .069; Table S4 ), but was not significant in the mentalizing ROIs ( p = .116; Table S6 ).
