Perceived relational value describes the extent to which individuals consider themselves to be liked and valued. Given the salience of peer opinions in adolescence, perceived relational value is an important part of adolescents' developing self-concept. Here, we examined the neural correlates of youth's perceptions of their relational value in two independent samples (N = 33, M = 13.71, SD = 2.71; N = 26, M = 15.43, SD = 0.33). In both studies, peer victimization was associated with lower perceived relational value behaviorally and with altered frontostriatal connectivity when perceiving low relational value during fMRI. Our results suggest that peer victimization may lead youth to become biased about how they will be perceived socially and may disrupt connectivity between brain regions involved in responding to appetitive social stimuli.
感知关系价值描述了个体认为自己被喜欢和重视的程度。鉴于同伴意见在青少年时期的重要性,感知关系价值是青少年自我概念发展的重要组成部分。在这里,我们在两个独立的样本(N=33,M=13.71,SD=2.71;N=26,M=15.43,SD=0.33)中检查了年轻人对自己关系价值的感知的神经相关性。在这两项研究中,同伴侵害与行为上感知的关系价值较低有关,并且在 fMRI 期间感知低关系价值时与额-纹状体连接改变有关。我们的研究结果表明,同伴侵害可能会导致青少年对自己的社交感知产生偏见,并可能破坏参与回应奖赏性社会刺激的大脑区域之间的连接。
