Temperament theory and the study of cognition-emotion interactions across development (2007, background): “Eisenberger, Lieberman, and Williams (2003) reported that young adults who were made to believe they were being excluded from an online interactive game showed increased dorsal ACC activation relative to a condition in which they were included in the game.”
Reactions to Discrimination, Stigmatization, Ostracism, and Other Forms of Interpersonal Rejection (2009, neutral): “…feedback indicating that another participant was not interested in what they had to say (Snapp & Leary, 2001), giving participants feedback that other participants did not want to work with them (Buckley et al., 2004), and excluding participants from a ball-tossing game (Eisenberger et al., 2003).”

Reinforcement learning signal predicts social conformity.
