Teacher knows best? The social influence of teachers and peers in high school
Social norms are crucial to human development and social functioning. They play an important role in the formation of personal norms and intentions concerning risk-taking and prosocial behaviors. During adolescence, the school becomes a prominent environment where individuals gain a deeper understanding of broader social norms, helping them navigate the complexities of adult society. Here, adolescents may learn social norms from two key sources: …
The Effect of Relative Pubertal Maturation and Perceived Popularity on Symptoms of Depression and Social Anxiety in Adolescent Boys and Girls
Research has shown that adolescents – particularly girls – who mature relatively early often experience more internalizing problems. This effect is thought to be partially driven by psychosocial mechanisms, but previous research based relative pubertal maturation on complete samples or population standards, instead of considering the adolescents’ direct peer environment. In the current study the level of adolescents’ pubertal development was asse…
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…
Understanding the Role of Puberty in Structural and Functional Development of the Adolescent Brain
Over the past two decades, there has been a tremendous increase in our understanding of structural and functional brain development in adolescence. However, understanding the role of puberty in this process has received much less attention. This review examines this relationship by summarizing recent research studies where the role of puberty was investigated in relation to brain structure, connectivity, and task‐related functional magnetic reson…
Longitudinal Changes in Adolescent Risk-Taking
Prior studies have highlighted adolescence as a period of increased risk-taking, which is postulated to result from an overactive reward system in the brain. Longitudinal studies are pivotal for testing these brain-behavior relations because individual slopes are more sensitive for detecting change. The aim of the current study was twofold: (1) to test patterns of age-related change (i.e., linear, quadratic, and cubic) in activity in the nucleus …
