Abstract：
Theories of adolescent development suggest that elevated neural sensitivity to social evaluation confers tradeoffs for adolescents\' wellbeing, promoting adaptation to changing social contexts but increasing risk for emotional distress and depression. This study investigated whether the association between neural processing of peer feedback and depressive symptoms depends on teacher-reported executive function (EF) ability in adolescent girls. Girls showed activation to negative and positive peer feedback in regions implicated in social-emotional processing that interacted with EF to predict depressive symptoms. Specifically, activation predicted more depression in youth with poorer EF but less depression in youth with better EF, suggesting that the impact of increased social sensitivity may depend on youths\' ability to regulate this sensitivity in adaptive ways.
摘要：
青少年发展理论表明，对社会评估的神经敏感性提高会给青少年带来权衡，促进适应不断变化的社会环境，但增加情绪困扰和抑郁的风险。这项研究调查了同伴反馈的神经处理与抑郁症状之间的关联是否取决于教师报告的青春期女孩的执行功能（EF）能力。女孩在与EF相互作用以预测抑郁症状的社会情绪处理相关的区域中表现出对消极和积极的同伴反馈的激活。具体来说,激活预测EF较差的年轻人抑郁更多，但EF较好的年轻人抑郁更少，这表明，社会敏感性增加的影响可能取决于年轻人以适应性方式调节这种敏感性的能力。
