DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Project Summary: The primary specific aim of this R21 project is to develop visual stimuli for a computer- based, comprehensive, assessment of Social Information Processing (SIP) in adults. The secondary specific aim is to perform a preliminary study of the relationship between this enhanced assessment of SIP and an assessment of Emotional Information Processing (EIP). SIP is concerned with the various processes (many of which are automatic) involved in the assessment and disposition of social interaction. SIP has long been studied in children and adolescents with externalizing disorders in which population multiple deficits (e.g., reduced encoding of social cues, hostile attribution bias) in SIP have been demonstrated, particularly in relation to childhood trauma and abuse and the development of aggressive behavior. While this work has led to a long and productive series of studies in children/adolescents, little work on SIP in adults has been done. This is largely because of a lack of adequate tools to assess SIP in adults. In this R21 project, the PI proposes to use the Adult SIP Vignettes he has already developed as the basis for the development of a series of visual presentation stimuli relevant to SIP. The first set of visual stimuli, in the form of "illustrated storyboards", will be incorporated onto a computer-based presentation platform (E-Prime) and tested in Healthy Volunteers and in subjects with Intermittent Explosive Disorder. If these visual stimuli prove effective in the assessment of the various aspects of SIP (especially in the case of the first SIP Step of "encoding"), the stimuli will then be adapted into brief "video clips", which will in turn be tested again in a second group of Healthy Volunteers and subjects with IED. A series of reliability and initial validity studies will be done for both the "storyboards" and the "video clips". These include studies of internal consistency, test-retest reliability, Healthy Volunteer vs. IED group differences in SIP parameters, and correlation with relevant convergent and divergent measures (e.g., automatic hostile thoughts, aggression, history of childhood trauma, etc.) and Emotional Information Processing (accuracy of identifying facial emotion). Relevance: SIP is a critical component to the process involved in generating aggressive behavior in response to social interaction. There are no standardized measures of SIP in adults and no assessment that is delivered in a controlled fashion. In addition, there are no standardized stimuli for SIP assessment that can be used in imaging environments. Development of such measures is critical for the further scientific study of SIP and for its integration in neurobiologhical research.

描述(由申请者提供)：项目摘要：该R21项目的主要具体目标是开发基于计算机的、全面的成人社会信息处理(SIP)评估的视觉刺激。第二个具体目标是对这种增强的SIP评估和情绪信息处理(EIP)评估之间的关系进行初步研究。SIP涉及社会互动的评估和处置所涉及的各种过程(其中许多是自动的)。长期以来，对患有外化障碍的儿童和青少年进行了研究，这些儿童和青少年的群体存在多重缺陷(如社交线索编码减少、敌意归因偏见)，特别是与儿童创伤和虐待以及攻击行为的发展有关。虽然这项工作导致了一系列针对儿童/青少年的长期而富有成效的研究，但关于成人SIP的研究工作却很少。这在很大程度上是因为缺乏足够的工具来评估成年人的SIP。在这个R21项目中，PI建议使用他已经开发的成人SIP小插曲作为开发与SIP相关的一系列视觉呈现刺激的基础。第一组视觉刺激将被合并到一个基于计算机的演示平台(E-Prime)上，并在健康志愿者和间歇性爆炸性障碍患者中进行测试。如果这些视觉刺激被证明在评估SIP的各个方面是有效的(特别是在SIP的第一个步骤“编码”的情况下)，那么这些刺激将被改编成简短的“视频剪辑”，然后将在第二组健康志愿者和患有IED的受试者中再次测试。将对“故事板”和“视频短片”进行一系列的信度和初步效度研究。这些研究包括内部一致性、重测信度、健康志愿者与IED组在SIP参数上的差异，以及与相关汇聚和发散措施(例如，自动敌对思维、攻击性、儿童创伤史等)的相关性。和情绪信息处理(识别面部情绪的准确性)。相关性：在社交互动中产生攻击性行为的过程中，SIP是一个关键组件。在成人中，没有标准化的衡量标准，也没有以受控方式提供的评估。此外，没有可在成像环境中使用的用于SIP评估的标准化刺激。这些措施的发展对于进一步的科学研究和将其整合到神经生物学研究中至关重要。
