青少年对公平、信任和互惠的评价发生了显著的变化，这导致了更多的利他行为和面向他人的倾向。在这篇文章中，我强调了大脑成像研究的进展，重点关注青少年如何做出社会决策。以最后通牒博弈和信任博弈为例，我表明，青少年在青春期早期相对专注于自我，在青春期后期和成年早期，冲动控制和观点采择增加。这些变化伴随着背内侧前额叶皮层（一个对自我参照处理很重要的区域）与背外侧前额叶皮层和颞顶叶交界处（一个对控制自私冲动和观点采择很重要的区域）的相对贡献的变化。这种平衡的转变可能会促使青少年在青春期早期做出更多以自我为导向的选择，并允许他们在青春期后期考虑对他人的影响。
Adolescents experience a marked change in their evaluation of fairness, trust, and reciprocity that leads to more altruistic behavior and tendencies that are oriented toward others. In this article, I highlight advances in brain imaging research to focus on how adolescents make social decisions. Using the Ultimatum Game and the Trust Game as examples, I show that adolescents are relatively focused on the self in early adolescence, with impulse control and perspective taking increasing in later adolescence and early adulthood. These changes are accompanied by a shift in the relative contribution of the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex, a region important for self-referential processing, to the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and temporal-parietal junction, regions important for controlling selfish impulses and perspective taking. This shift in balance may tip adolescents toward more self-oriented choices in early adolescence and allow them to consider consequences for others in later adolescence.
