[Abstract] Objective: The study was used in sequential risk-taking tasks to research the effect of resting-state functional connectivity to regret emotional volatility when facing different social comparison subjects.Materials and Methods: Total thirty-eight health university students took part in the experiment. In the study, participants were told to imagine two different opponents (close friends and strangers) and they would play sequential risk-taking tasks with themselves. Opponent’s outcome would be presented with participant’s own outcome, then participants were supposed to score for regret or relief. Data processing assistant for resting-state fMRI (DPARSF) was used to analyze the resting-state data. We collected and calculated the function connectivity values between insula, orbital frontal cortex and other voxels in the brain. The functional connectivity (FC) values were correlated with regret emotional rating index (emotional volatility) and social comparison scales.Results: In GAIN situation, when participant’s outcome was worse than stranger’s, emotional volatility was negatively correlated with FC between insula and orbital frontal cortex (r=-0.399, P<0.05), this FC also negatively correlated with participants’social comparability (r=-0.472, P<0.01).Conclusions: In resting states, the FC between insula and orbital frontal cortex was correlated with social comparability and emotional volatility when facing strangers.
