Abstract

Abstract:Peer victimization is associated with increased risk for mental health problems. These adverse psychological outcomes are linked with altered cognitive and emotional processes and their related neural functioning. In the present study, by using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we examined whether peer victimization was associated with heightened neural response to social exclusion. Participants (N = 45; Mage = 17.7 years, SD = 0.60; 36 women) included three mutually exclusive groups: peer-victimized individuals (targets of bullying), cyberdefenders (defended peers who were being cyberbullied), and controls (not involved as targets or cyberdefenders). All participants underwent an fMRI scan while playing Cyberball, an experimental paradigm that simulates social exclusion. Peer victimization was associated with increased neural response in the left amygdala, left parahippocampal gyrus, left inferior frontal operculum, and right fusiform gyrus. Understanding the acute neural response to social exclusion in peer-victimized individuals may provide insight into their increased risk for poor mental health.

同伴受害与社会排斥的神经反应有关

同伴受害与心理健康问题风险增加有关。这些不良的心理结果与认知和情绪过程及其相关神经功能的改变有关。在本研究中，我们使用功能磁共振成像(fMRI)来研究同伴受害是否与社会排斥的神经反应增强有关。参与者(N = 45;年龄= 17.7岁，SD = 0.60;36名女性)包括三个相互排斥的群体:同伴受害个人(欺凌的目标)，网络维护者(被保护的被网络欺凌的同伴)和对照组(不作为目标或网络维护者参与)。所有参与者在玩赛博球时都进行了功能磁共振成像扫描，这是一种模拟社会排斥的实验范式。同伴伤害与左侧杏仁核、左侧海马旁回、左侧额下盖和右侧梭状回的神经反应增加有关。了解同伴受害个体对社会排斥的急性神经反应，可能有助于了解他们心理健康状况不佳的风险增加。
