Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine whether prolonged victimization relates to differential processing of emotions. Based on the social information processing theory, it was hypothesized that prolonged victimization would modulate emotion processing, such that victimization relates to a heightened attentional focus toward negative facial expressions and increased amygdala activation in response to negative facial expressions. We targeted a unique sample of 83 children (M_age = 10.6, 49.4% girls) whose victimization history in the past 2 years was available. An Emotional Dot-Probe Task and an Emotion Processing fMRI Task were administered to the participants. Findings included that victimization did not relate significantly to a heightened attentional focus on happy, angry, or fearful expressions. Viewing facial expressions resulted in the activation of the posterior medial frontal cortex, bilateral insula, bilateral fusiform face area, and the right amygdala and hippocampus, which was not related to victimization, nor was victimization related to activation in the amygdala or the social brain regions (medial prefrontal cortex, temporoparietal junction, precuneus, posterior superior temporal sulcus) when viewing specific emotional (happy, angry, afraid, sad) expressions. Together, these results do not provide evidence that implicit emotion processing without social context relates to victimization. Future research should replicate these results and further examine emotion processing in relation to severe victimization experiences and support systems, such as friendships or parenting, on emotion processing.

愤怒还是中立，对我来说都无所谓：面部情绪的内隐加工与同伴受害经历无关。

本研究的目的是检验长期受害是否与情绪的差异处理有关。基于社会信息加工理论，我们假设长时间的受害行为会调节情绪加工，例如受害行为与对消极面部表情的高度注意集中和对消极面部表情的杏仁核激活增加有关。我们的目标是一个独特的样本，83名儿童（法师= 10.6,49.4%的女孩），他们在过去2年的受害历史是可用的。对参与者进行了情绪点探测任务和情绪处理功能磁共振成像任务。研究结果包括，受害与对快乐、愤怒或恐惧表情的高度关注没有显著关系。观察面部表情导致后内侧额叶皮层、双侧脑岛、双侧梭状回面部区、右侧杏仁核和海马的激活，与受害无关，也与特定情绪表情（快乐、愤怒、恐惧、悲伤）时杏仁核或大脑社交区（内侧前额叶皮层、颞顶连接、楔前叶、颞后上沟）的激活无关。总之，这些结果并没有提供证据表明，没有社会背景的内隐情绪加工与受害有关。未来的研究应该重复这些结果，并进一步研究与严重受害经历和支持系统（如友谊或父母）有关的情绪处理。（PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA，版权所有）。

期刊介绍： Emotion publishes significant contributions to the study of emotion from a wide range of theoretical traditions and research domains. The journal includes articles that advance knowledge and theory about all aspects of emotional processes, including reports of substantial empirical studies, scholarly reviews, and major theoretical articles. Submissions from all domains of emotion research are encouraged, including studies focusing on cultural, social, temperament and personality, cognitive, developmental, health, or biological variables that affect or are affected by emotional functioning. Both laboratory and field studies are appropriate for the journal, as are neuroimaging studies of emotional processes.
