项目摘要

Project Summary Social disconnection and loneliness surge in adolescence and have a negative impact on youth physical and mental health. Furthermore, social disconnection during this life stage predicts difficulties forming and maintaining relationships in adulthood, with similarly negative consequences for adult physical and mental health. A key underlying process for adolescents’ risk of social disconnection may be their heightened biological stress reactivity. A major theory by Taylor postulated that the stress response can activate two primary social- behavioral profiles, “fight-or-flight” (i.e., an increase in conflict or social withdrawal), or “tend-and-befriend” (i.e., an increase in prosocial and affiliative behavior). However, most prior research on Taylor’s model has been with adults, creating a gap in our understanding of when and why these profiles emerge in development, and how biology, personality, and social relationships contribute to youths’ tendencies to respond to social challenges with socially distancing versus socially engaging behaviors. The current project aims to fill these critical gaps by revealing the biological, personality, and relationship characteristics that differentiate these two social-behavioral stress profiles. To meet this objective, the research team will undertake two specific aims. First, the team will recruit a new sample of 280 adolescents ages 11-16 years old to complete a social evaluation stressor and biobehavioral assessments in the laboratory, followed by psychosocial assessments one year later. The team will test the role of social relationships, personality, and biological characteristics (oxytocin, adrenocortical, autonomic, and inflammatory activity) in differentiating “fight-or-flight” versus “tend-and-befriend” profiles in response to the social evaluation stressor, and predict longitudinal change in loneliness using these profiles. For the second aim, the team will conduct new analyses of existing data from a longitudinal study of 674 predominantly low-income Mexican-origin Hispanic youth in California, who have been followed from age 10 to age 24. New assays of stored, frozen samples for oxytocin will also be conducted in a subsample of 229 youth from this study who at age 17 completed a social exclusion protocol with biological assessments (adrenocortical, autonomic, and inflammatory activity). The second aim is to identify the prospective contributions of social relationships and personality to adolescents’ “fight-or-flight” versus “tend-and-befriend” profiles in response to a social exclusion stressor, and use these two profiles to predict change in time spent alone longitudinally. With the full sample of 674 Mexican-origin youth, we will test that relationship quality and youth personality will predict increased versus decreased time spent alone during waves when school transitions occur. By accomplishing these aims, this project will deliver a multi-faceted understanding of how social disconnection develops and identify key biobehavioral targets that can be modified to improve social connectedness in adolescence and beyond.

项目概要青春期的社会脱节和孤独感激增，对青少年的身体和健康产生负面影响此外，这个生命阶段的社会脱节预示着心理健康的困难。维持成年后的人际关系，对成年人的身心也会产生类似的负面影响青少年与社会脱节风险的一个关键潜在过程可能是他们的大气生物学。泰勒的一个主要理论假设，压力反应可以激活两种主要的社会反应。行为特征、“战斗或逃跑”（即冲突或社交退缩的增加）或“照顾并成为朋友”（即，亲社会和亲和行为的增加）然而，大多数先前对泰勒模型的研究都是关于泰勒模型的。成年人，在我们对这些特征在发育过程中何时、为何出现以及如何出现的理解上存在差距生物学、个性和社会关系有助于青少年应对社会挑战的倾向当前的项目旨在通过社交距离与社交参与行为来填补这些关键空白。揭示区分这两种社会行为的生物学、人格和关系特征为了实现这一目标，研究团队将实现两个具体目标。招募 280 名 11-16 岁青少年的新样本来完成社会评价压力源，该团队在实验室进行生物行为评估，一年后进行心理社会评估。将测试社会关系、性格和生物特征（催产素、肾上腺皮质、自主神经和炎症活动）在区分“战斗或逃跑”与“照顾并成为朋友”的情况时对社会评价压力源的反应，并使用这些概况预测孤独感的纵向变化。第二个目标是，该团队将对来自纵向研究的现有数据进行新的分析 674 主要是加利福尼亚州的低收入墨西哥裔西班牙裔青年，他们从 10 岁到 24 岁。还将对 229 名青少年的子样本进行储存、冷冻样本的催产素新测定根据这项研究，他在 17 岁时完成了一项带有生物评估（肾上腺皮质、第二个目标是确定社会的预期贡献。青少年的“战斗或逃跑”与“照顾并成为朋友”的形象之间的关系和性格社会排斥压力源，并使用这两个概况来预测纵向独处时间的变化。 674 名墨西哥裔青年的完整样本，我们将测试人际关系质量和青年性格的预测当学校过渡时，单独度过的时间会增加或减少。为了实现这些目标，该项目将从多方面了解社会脱节如何发展和确定可以修改的关键生物行为目标，以改善青春期和社会联系超过。
