CRONE, Auteur ; Anna C. K. VAN DUIJVENVOORDE, Auteur ; Jiska S. PEPER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.353-368 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Risk-taking behavior  adolescence  developmental changes  individual differences  externalizing disorders  brain connectivity  ventral striatum Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Risk-taking, which involves voluntary choices for behaviors where outcomes remain uncertain, undergoes considerable developmental changes during childhood, adolescence, and early adulthood. In addition, risk-taking is thought to be a key element of many externalizing disorders, such as ADHD, delinquency, conduct disorder, and substance abuse. In this review, we will discuss the potential adaptive and nonadaptive properties of risk-taking in childhood and adolescence. Findings We propose that the changes in brain architecture and function are a crucial element underlying these developmental trajectories. We first identify how subcortical and cortical interactions are important for understanding risk-taking behavior in adults. Next, we show how developmental changes in this network underlie changes in risk-taking behavior. Finally, we explore how these differences can be important for understanding externalizing behavioral disorders in childhood and adolescence. Conclusions We conclude that longitudinal studies are of crucial importance for understanding these developmental trajectories, and many of these studies are currently underway.

Developmental changes and individual differences in risk and perspective taking in adolescence / Eveline A. CRONE in Development and Psychopathology, 20-4 (Fall 2008)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 20-4 (Fall 2008) . - p.1213-1229 Titre : Developmental changes and individual differences in risk and perspective taking in adolescence Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Eveline A. CRONE, Auteur ; Philip David ZELAZO, Auteur ; L. BULLENS, Auteur ; E . A. A. VAN DER PLAS, Auteur ; E. J. KIJKUIT, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : p.1213-1229 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Despite the assumed prevalence of risk-taking behavior in adolescence, the laboratory evidence of risk taking remains scarce, and the individual variation poorly understood. Drawing from neuroscience studies, we tested whether risk and reward orientation are influenced by the perspective that adolescents take when making risky decisions. Perspective taking was manipulated by cuing participants prior to each choice whether the decision was made for “self,” or from the perspective of an “other” (the experimenter in Experiment 1; a hypothetical peer in Experiment 2). In Experiment 1, we show a developmental decrease in risk-taking behavior across different stages of adolescence. In addition, all age groups made fewer risky choices for the experimenter, but the difference between self and other was larger in early adolescence. In Experiment 2, we show that high sensation-seeking (SS) adolescents make more risky choices than low SS adolescents, but both groups make a similar differentiation for other individuals (low risk-taking or high risk-taking peers). Together, the results show that younger adolescents and high SS adolescents make more risky choices for themselves, but can appreciate that others may make fewer risky choices. The developmental change toward more rational decisions versus emotional, impulsive decisions may reflect, in part, more efficient integration of others’ perspectives into one's decision making. These developmental results are discussed regarding brain systems important for risk taking and perspective taking.

Emerging depression in adolescence coincides with accelerated frontal cortical thinning / Marieke G. N. BOS in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 59-9 (September 2018)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 59-9 (September 2018) . - p.994-1002 Titre : Emerging depression in adolescence coincides with accelerated frontal cortical thinning Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Marieke G.

TAMNES, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.994-1002 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adolescence  brain development  longitudinal  depression  MRI  cerebral cortex Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Adolescence is a transition period characterized by heightened emotional reactivity, which for some sets the stage for emerging depressive symptoms. Prior studies suggest that adolescent depression is associated with deviant cortical and subcortical brain structure. Longitudinal studies are, however, currently scarce, but critical to detect which adolescents are at risk for developing depressive symptoms. Methods In this longitudinal study, a community sample of 205 participants underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in three biennial waves (522 scans) spanning 5 years across ages 8?25 years. Depressive symptomatology was assessed using self-report at the third time point. Mixed models were used to examine the relations between structural brain development, specifically regional change in cortical thickness, surface area and subcortical volumes (hippocampus and amygdala), and depressive symptoms. Results Accelerated frontal lobe cortical thinning was observed in adolescents who developed depressive symptoms at the third time point. This effect remained after controlling for parent-reported affective problems at the first time point. Moreover, the effect was driven by specific lateral orbitofrontal and precentral regions. In addition, differential developmental trajectories of parietal cortical thickness and surface area in several regions were found for participants reporting higher depressive symptomatology, but these results did not survive correction for multiple comparisons. Volumes or developmental volume changes in hippocampus or amygdala were not related to depressive symptoms. Conclusions This study showed that emerging depression is associated with cortical thinning in frontal regions within individuals. These findings move beyond detecting cross-sectional correlations and set the stage for early detection, which may inform future intervention.

Peers Influence Prosocial Behavior in Adolescent Males with Autism Spectrum Disorders / Jorien VAN HOORN in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 47-7 (July 2017)

In this study, we examined to what extent adolescent males (age 11–17 years; N?=?144) with and without autism (ASD) were influenced by peer feedback on prosocial behavior, and which factors were related to individual differences in peer feedback sensitivity. In a public goods game, participants made decisions about the allocation of tokens between themselves and their group—in absence or presence of peer feedback. Adolescents with and without ASD were sensitive to peer feedback on prosocial behavior. More autism traits and social interest were associated with less sensitivity to antisocial feedback, suggesting that peer feedback creates opportunities for social adjustment in those with and without ASD.

The role of autism and alexithymia traits in behavioral and neural indicators of self-concept and self-esteem in adolescence / Sander BEGEER ; Eveline A. CRONE in Autism, 28-9 (September 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 28-9 (September 2024) . - p.2346-2361 Titre : The role of autism and alexithymia traits in behavioral and neural indicators of self-concept and self-esteem in adolescence Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Sander BEGEER, Auteur ; Eveline A. CRONE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2346-2361 Langues : (en) Mots-clés : adolescents  alexithymia  autism spectrum disorder  functional magnetic resonance imaging  self-concept  self-esteem Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Self-concept develops during adolescence, but little is known about self-concept in adolescents with autism. This behavioral neuroimaging study investigated (1) self-concept positivity across three domains (academic, physical appearance, and prosocial) and (2) from the perspective of self (direct self-concept) and the perceived perspective of peers (reflected self-concept) in 12- to 16-year-old adolescent males with (n = 35) and without autism (n = 34). These behavioral and neural measures of self-concept were additionally related to autism traits and alexithymia traits across groups. Results showed no general group differences, but more autism traits were related to less positive self-concept ratings in the physical appearance and prosocial domains. More autism traits were also associated with less similarity between direct and reflected prosocial self-concept ratings. Lower self-esteem was additionally explained by alexithymia, specifically the difficulty to identify ones feelings. Participants showed medial prefrontal cortex activation in response to evaluating self-traits in both groups. Region-of-interest analyses revealed that medial prefrontal cortex and right temporal-parietal junction activation were differentially related to alexithymia traits. Together, this study provides a comprehensive understanding of self-concept and self-esteem in adolescents with varying levels autism and alexithymia traits. Lay abstract Developing a positive view of the self is important for maintaining a good mental health, as feeling negative about the self increases the risk of developing internalizing symptoms such as feelings of depression and anxiety. Even though autistic individuals regularly struggle with these internalizing feelings, and both self-concept and internalizing feelings are known to develop during adolescence, there is a lack of studies investigating the development of positive self-concept and self-esteem in autistic adolescents. Here, we studied academic, physical, and prosocial self-concept as well as self-esteem in adolescent males with and without autism on both the behavioral and neural level. We additionally focused on similarities in one?s own and peers' perspectives on the self, and we assessed a potential role of alexithymia (i.e. having trouble identifying and describing one?s feelings) in developing a more negative view of the self. Results showed that there were no group differences in self-esteem, self-concept, or underlying neural activation. This shows that autistic adolescent males use the same neural processes when they evaluate their traits. However, regardless of clinical diagnosis, a higher number of autism traits was related to a less positive physical and prosocial self-concept, whereas more difficulty identifying one?s feelings was related to lowered self-esteem and less activation in medial prefrontal cortex during self-evaluations. Therefore, in treatment of autistic adolescents with low self-esteem, it is important to take into account and possibly aim to improve alexithymic traits as well.
