: This work was conducted as part of the TAM Research Cluster (“The Adaptive Mind”), which brings together scientists from experimental psychology, clinical psychology, cognitive science and artificial intelligence to improve the understanding of how the human mind successfully adapts to changing conditions. This includes the role of social expectations in the progression of mental disorders. All authors of this article, with the exception of T.K. and M.B., are involved in the TAM Research Cluster. Moreover, M.B., B.S., D.E. and W.R. are involved in the LOEWE Center DYNAMIC. Additionally, L.K., B.S. and W.R. are involved in the Collaborative Research Center 393, and W.R. and D.E. are involved in the Collaborative Research Center 289. T.K. is closely connected to these projects through friendships with several co-authors and previous collaboration on the relevance of expectations in depression.
