Overcoming challenges as part of maturation
INTRODUCTION: Mean-level increases on personality traits are broadly considered indicative of maturation, a process underpinned by self-regulation. However, self-regulation decreases in early to mid-adolescence, prompting expectations of personality declines - a trend termed the "disruption" hypothesis. This study examines a particularly vulnerable period in adolescence and assesses mean-level changes in the six HEXACO traits - Honesty-Humility, …
Kind actions, kind reactions? The impact of considerate behavior on children’s social preferences
Being considerate of other people's needs is an important way in which people show they care about others. Do young children pick up on this social signal? Across three preregistered studies ( N = 254; 125 boys, 129 girls, 87%-89% Dutch), we investigated children's evaluation of and behavior toward considerate and inconsiderate peers. An internal meta-analysis of Studies 1 and 2 showed that children (4-7 years) did not like considerate peers more…
A Few Close Friends? Adolescent Friendships’ Effect on Internalizing Symptoms Is Serially Mediated by Desire for More Friends and Social Goal Orientation
Interpersonal connection is a fundamental human motivation, and the extent to which it is fulfilled is a strong predictor of symptoms of internalizing disorders such as social anxiety and depression, perhaps especially during the “social reorienting” period of adolescence. However, little is known about the contribution to this effect of the individual’s social motivations, which are intensified during adolescence. Furthermore, social goal orient…
Social Cognition and Friendships in Adolescents With Autistic-Like Experiences and Psychotic-Like Experiences
Autism spectrum conditions (ASC) and schizophrenia spectrum conditions (SSC) are both characterized by changes in social-cognitive functioning. Less is known about the overlap and the differences in social-cognitive functioning when comparing individuals with subclinical levels of ASC and SSC, while studies in non-clinical samples have the benefit of avoiding confounds that are present in clinical groups. Therefore, we first examined how autistic…
The effect of social feedback from peers on adolescent cognitive control
INTRODUCTION: Social feedback can influence cognitive control during adolescence, particularly if provided by peers. The main aim of this study was to investigate if feedback given by liked or disliked peers differentially influenced adolescents' cognitive control. The second aim was to investigate if these effects could be linked to the participants' social embeddedness in their classroom. METHODS: A personalized incentive go/no-go task was admi…
Do you see what I see? Sex differences in the discrimination of facial emotions during adolescence
During adolescence social relationships become increasingly important. Establishing and maintaining these relationships requires understanding of emotional stimuli, such as facial emotions. A failure to adequately interpret emotional facial expressions has previously been associated with various mental disorders that emerge during adolescence. The current study examined sex differences in emotional face processing during adolescence. Participants…
Neuromyths in Education
The OECD's Brain and Learning project (2002) emphasized that many misconceptions about the brain exist among professionals in the field of education. Though these so-called "neuromyths" are loosely based on scientific facts, they may have adverse effects on educational practice. The present study investigated the prevalence and predictors of neuromyths among teachers in selected regions in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. A large observati…
