Abstract

Emotional communication plays a crucial role in the adolescent-parent relationship, and parents' ability to regulate emotions is particularly important. Parental expressive suppression has been found to negatively affect adolescent-parent relationships, but the specific neural mechanisms underlying these effects are unknown. This study examines how parental expressive suppression impacts neural synchrony during emotional responses. Using EEG hyperscanning, we recorded brain activity in 21 high expressive suppression (HEP) and 28 low expressive suppression (LEP) adolescent-parent dyads while viewing emotional images. Results show LEPs rated positive images higher and exhibited greater inter-brain synchrony across all frequency bands. The results suggest that parental expressive suppression weakens neural synchronization with adolescents, which may affect the quality of the adolescent-parent relationship. This study provides new perspectives for understanding the biological basis of adolescent-parent relationships.

父母表达抑制破坏了青少年对情绪刺激的神经同步性

情绪交流在青少年与父母的关系中起着至关重要的作用，而父母调节情绪的能力尤为重要。父母表达抑制已被发现对青少年与父母的关系产生负面影响，但这些影响背后的具体神经机制尚不清楚。本研究探讨父母表达抑制如何影响情绪反应中的神经同步性。通过脑电图超扫描，我们记录了21例高表达抑制（HEP）和28例低表达抑制（LEP）青少年父母二人组在观看情绪图像时的脑活动。结果显示，lep对正面图像的评价更高，并且在所有频带中表现出更大的脑间同步。结果表明，父母表达抑制削弱了青少年的神经同步性，从而可能影响青少年-父母关系的质量。本研究为理解青少年与父母关系的生物学基础提供了新的视角。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology focuses on two key concepts: human development, which refers to the psychological transformations and modifications that occur during the life cycle and influence an individual behavior within the social milieu; and application of knowledge, which is derived from investigating variables in the developmental process. Its contributions cover research that deals with traditional life span markets (age, social roles, biological status, environmental variables) and broadens the scopes of study to include variables that promote understanding of psychological processes and their onset and development within the life span. Most importantly.
