Interparental conflict and neural correlates of children's emotion processing were examined. Event-related potential (ERP) data were collected from 87 children (9-11 years old) with stimuli depicting interpersonal anger, happiness, and neutrality. Three ERP components were modulated by child-reported measures of conflict, reflecting a progression from early sensory attention to cognitive control to stimulus categorization. Negative conflict predicted larger N1 and N2 amplitudes on happy than on angry trials. Greater self-blame for conflict predicted larger N2 amplitudes across emotions and larger P3 amplitudes on angry than on neutral or happy trials. Results suggest conflict-related experiences shape processing of interpersonal emotion.
研究了父母间冲突与儿童情绪加工的神经关联。从87名9至11岁儿童中收集了事件相关电位(ERP)数据,刺激材料描绘了人际间的愤怒、快乐和中性情绪。三个ERP成分受到儿童报告的冲突测量指标的调节,反映了从早期感觉注意到认知控制再到刺激分类的过程。消极冲突预测,与愤怒试验相比,快乐试验中的N1和N2波幅更大。对冲突更大的自责预测,与中性或快乐试验相比,愤怒试验中的N2波幅更大,且在所有情绪中P3波幅更大。结果表明,与冲突相关的经历塑造了人际情绪的加工过程。
