青春期（10至24岁）是一个对社会刺激高度敏感和对同伴互动需求增加的生命阶段。全球为遏制COVID-19传播而强制实施的身体距离措施，正大幅减少青少年在家庭以外进行面对面社交接触的机会。在这个跨学科的观点中，我们描述了来自各个领域的文献，这些文献强调了青春期的社会剥夺可能会产生深远的影响。人类研究表明，青少年时期同伴接受和同伴影响的重要性。动物研究表明，与生命的其他阶段相比，社会剥夺和孤立对青少年的大脑和行为有独特的影响。然而，由于通过社交媒体等技术广泛获得数字形式的社交互动，青少年面对面接触的减少可能没有那么有害。审查的结果强调了身体距离可能对同龄人互动是发展的重要方面的年龄组产生不成比例的影响。
Adolescence (the stage between 10 and 24 years) is a period of life characterised by heightened sensitivity to social stimuli and the increased need for peer interaction. The physical distancing measures mandated globally to contain the spread of COVID-19 are radically reducing adolescents' opportunities to engage in face-to-face social contact outside their household. In this interdisciplinary Viewpoint, we describe literature from a variety of domains that highlight how social deprivation in adolescence might have far-reaching consequences. Human studies have shown the importance of peer acceptance and peer influence in adolescence. Animal research has shown that social deprivation and isolation have unique effects on brain and behaviour in adolescence compared with other stages of life. However, the decrease in adolescent face-to-face contact might be less detrimental due to widespread access to digital forms of social interaction through technologies such as social media. The findings reviewed highlight how physical distancing might have a disproportionate effect on an age group for whom peer interaction is a vital aspect of development.
