Fig. 5: Metacognition and its relation to affective self-evaluation.
From: Distorted learning from local metacognition supports transdiagnostic underconfidence

The interaction of word valence (positive or negative) with (a) Anxious-Depression transdiagnostic scores (p < 0.001), and (b) mean local confidence (p < 0.001) during baseline runs when regressed upon self-endorsements at the first timepoint (T1) of the self-referential encoding task in Exp 2 (plotted as marginal effects from a logistic regression predicting self-endorsement). c Change in self-endorsement from T1 to T2 (i.e. post-feedback) separated by word valence and the type of feedback delivered during intervention blocks. While there was no difference in self-endorsements following positive feedback, negative words were endorsed more than positive words following negative feedback. For all panels, error bars show 95% bootstrapped confidence intervals, statistical comparisons were performed using mixed regressions, and p-values were obtained through likelihood ratio tests with \({\chi }^{2}\) distributions. For (c), error bars are centred at the respective means and p values were adjusted using FDR.
