Adolescence is an important time when individuals learn to manage stress-related emotions like fear. Peers can help, or hinder, individuals to regulate fear. This project aims to understand how, when, and for whom social buffering of fear regulation occurs during adolescence. It uses a behavioural, pharmacological, and neural approach to explore these issues. The project aims to close the gap in understanding of how social companions affect basic learning and memory processes in an understudied population of adolescents. The expected outcomes of this project include a richer knowledge of how peers shape emotional regulation during development, which will ultimately inform social-based approaches for improving emotion regulation in youth.

青春期是一个重要的时期，当个人学习管理与压力有关的情绪，如恐惧。同伴可以帮助或阻碍个体调节恐惧。这个项目旨在了解如何，何时，以及为谁的社会缓冲的恐惧调节发生在青春期。它使用行为，药理学和神经方法来探索这些问题。该项目旨在缩小对社会同伴如何影响未充分研究的青少年人群的基本学习和记忆过程的理解方面的差距。该项目的预期成果包括对同龄人在发展过程中如何塑造情绪调节的更丰富的知识，这将最终为改善青年情绪调节的基于社会的方法提供信息。
