This study investigates how victim attitude responses (neutral vs. negative) influence third-party punishment decisions, using EEG and computational modeling. The goal is to understand the cognitive and neural mechanisms that underlie third-party punishment when victim feedback is incorporated. The EEG experiment aims to clarify the neural indicators of different victim attitudes (neutral vs. negative) under fair and unfair conditions, while the behavioral replication experiment seeks to replicate the behavioral results observed in the EEG study. Importantly, the study combines utility models to explore how parameters change in different attitude contexts, providing insights into the underlying psychological mechanisms.
