A social neuroscience approach to understanding adolescent delinquency and bullying
… in adolescent delinquency from a broader social motivation theory, with an explicit focus on including actively delinquent adolescents and comparing their performance (both behavioral and neural) to their normatively developing peers. In study 1, I examined how emotion regulation …

Utilizing Reflective Narratives To Promote Academic Mindsets: Building Relationships, Developing Responsibility, Fostering Resilience, And Providing Relevance For Adolescents
… of academic mindsets. Combining the research of social science about resilience, connectedness, and hopefulness with the research of social neuroscience, this study explores the role of story and reflective narratives in optimizing self-efficacy and enhancing overall well-being through the …

Not the Pearls but the Thread: Using fNIRS Hyperscanning to Investigate Real-Life Social Interactions
… represented a major methodological advance in social neuroscience, enabling researchers to directly investigate the neural mechanisms underlying active social exchange. Around the early 2010s, the use of functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) became increasingly popular in hyperscanning …

The things you do: Implicit person models guide online action observation.
Social perception is dynamic and ambiguous. Whilst previous research favoured bottom-up views where observed actions are matched to higher level (or motor) representations, recent accounts suggest top-down processes where prior knowledge guides perception of others’ actions, in a predictive manner. …

The neural regulation of fatherhood, insights from the anemonfish amphiprion ocellaris
Parental care is a fundamental social behavior exhibited ubiquitously in diverse lineages across the animal kingdom, and when present is critical for offspring survival. Parental care represents a conflict: should parents invest in offspring fitness at the consequence of forgone reproductive …

The Behavioral and Neural Mechanisms of Social and Non-social Risky Decision-Making
… models do not take into account the underlying social preferences that often guide decision makers (Fehr & Camerer, 2007; Fehr & Schmidt, 2004). This suggests that an individual's propensity for risk may be different depending on social or non-social information present within the environment …

Shaping the perceptual representation of observed human action through prediction.
… the actions of others is crucial for all social interactions. Despite a dynamic and complicated social world, humans can derive the goals, attitudes and beliefs that drive others’ actions, imbuing them with meaning and understanding. While such abilities were traditionally accounted for by …

Neural Mechanisms Promoting Biased Social Memories in Intergenerational Childhood Abuse
… Because child abuse shapes and is shaped by social interactions, pinpointing effective intervention targets for disrupting these cycles requires the study of social processing mechanisms. This study investigates whether neural and cognitive biases in social processing – specifically, the …
