儿童虐待、创伤症状和α脑电图（EEG）不对称性与问题行为和酒精使用障碍有关。本研究的目的是阐明α EEG不对称性在虐待和问题行为关系中的作用。据推测，青少年有更多的虐待，创伤症状，右阿尔法脑电图不对称将有更多的问题行为和酒精使用。研究者还假设α-EEG的不对称性会调节虐待/创伤症状和问题行为之间的关联。结果儿童虐待报告和创伤症状与问题行为显著相关（分别为β= 0.259，p = 0.037和β= 0.594，p < 0.001）。创伤症状与饮酒有关（发生率比= 1.048，p = 0.032）。右侧α EEG不对称性调节了创伤症状和问题行为的正相关性（β=-0.383，p = 0.024）。然而，这是不是左阿尔法EEG asymmetry.ConclusionsNeural相关与个人的情感行为配置文件可能会发挥作用，在青少年暴露于更高水平的童年创伤的问题行为的易感性。这可能有助于制定有针对性的评估和干预措施，以预防或治疗青少年的这些问题。
BackgroundChild maltreatment, trauma symptoms, and alpha electroencephalography (EEG) asymmetry have been linked to problem behaviors and alcohol use disorders.ObjectiveThe goal of this pilot study was to clarify the role of alpha EEG asymmetry in the relation of maltreatment and problem behaviors. It was hypothesized that adolescents with more maltreatment, trauma symptoms, and right alpha EEG asymmetry would have more problem behaviors and alcohol use. It was also hypothesized that alpha EEG asymmetry would moderate the association between maltreatment/trauma symptoms and problem behaviors.Participants and SettingParticipants were 52 adolescents aged 12–14 years. Resting-state alpha EEG asymmetry was measured in this home-based study as a potential moderator in the association of child maltreatment and trauma symptoms to problem behaviors including alcohol use.ResultsChild maltreatment reports and trauma symptoms were significantly associated with problem behaviors (β= 0.259,p= 0.037 andβ= 0.594,p< 0.001, respectively). Trauma symptoms were associated with alcohol-use (Incidence Rate Ratio= 1.048,p= 0.032). Right alpha EEG asymmetry moderated the positive association of trauma symptoms and problem behaviors (β= −0.383,p= 0.024). However, this was not the case for left alpha EEG asymmetry.ConclusionsNeural correlates associated with individuals’ affective-behavioral profiles may play a role in the susceptibility for problem behaviors among adolescents exposed to higher levels of childhood trauma. This could be useful in developing targeted assessments and interventions to prevent or treat these problems in adolescents.
