DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Many of the experiences of everyday life induce emotional reactions, ranging from low to highly arousing. There has been substantial progress in understanding how adults process emotional events. The work has made clear that the ways in which individuals represent and express their emotional experiences has implications for mental health. Because of the importance of emotional construal to the quality of everyday life and to mental health, it is crucial that we understand emotion processing across the lifespan. Research with adults has revealed characteristic patterns of response to emotional stimuli as well as both individual and gender differences in processing of emotional experience. There also has been substantial research on expression and regulation of emotion early in development, as young children are beginning to learn about the causes and consequences of emotional experiences. In contrast, there has been little research on emotion processing in the elementary school years and into adolescence. As a result, we know little about the timing or course of developmental changes leading up to mature emotion processing. The proposed research will begin to fill these gaps by using the neuroimaging tool of event-related potentials (ERPs) to examine emotion processing in school-age children through middle adolescence. ERPs are ideally suited to examination of emotion processing due to their exquisite temporal resolution (on the scale of milliseconds), permitting observation of emotional responses in real time, as they are experienced. The work will be used to address two specific aims: (1a) examination of developmental changes in emotion processing in school- age children to young adolescents, with samples sufficiently large to permit examination of the emergence of gender-differential patterns of emotion processing that may be associated with internalizing and externalizing disorders (in females and males, respectively); (1b) examination of the emergence of patterns of neural response to emotional stimuli that are typical in adults, yet which to date have not been observed in children; and (2) examining emotion processing both as children process emotional stimuli for the first time and as they re-experience the events through memory, thereby providing a more complete perspective on developmental changes in emotion processing. The proposed research will elucidate the typical course of development of emotion processing in childhood through middle adolescence, when mature patterns of emotion processing are expected to become apparent. The research will be foundational for later translational work aimed at understanding emotion processing gone awry, such as observed in internalizing and externalizing disorders of childhood and adolescence. The combination of paradigms for examining processing of emotion in the moment and based on memory will be especially powerful, with high ecological validity.

描述（由申请人提供）：日常生活的许多经历会引起情绪反应，从低到高度引起。在理解成年人如何处理情感事件方面取得了重大进展。这项工作明确表明，个人代表和表达自己的情感经历的方式对心理健康具有影响。由于情绪对日常生活质量和心理健康的重要性的重要性，因此我们了解整个生命周期的情绪处理至关重要。与成年人的研究揭示了对情绪刺激的反应模式，以及在情感体验处理中的个人和性别差异。随着幼儿开始了解情感经历的原因和后果，人们对发展情绪的表达和调节也进行了大量研究。相比之下，在小学时代和青春期，几乎没有关于情绪处理的研究。结果，我们对导致成熟情感处理的发展时间或发展过程一无所知。拟议的研究将通过使用事件相关电位（ERP）的神经影像学工具开始填补这些空白，以检查学龄儿童通过青春期中的学龄儿童的情感处理。 ERP非常适合检查由于其精美的时间分辨率（按毫秒的规模）检查情绪处理，从而可以实时观察情绪反应，因为它们的经历。这项工作将用于解决两个具体目标：（1A）检查学院儿童对年轻青少年的情绪处理的发展变化，样品的样本足够大，可以允许检查性别差异性情感处理模式的出现，这些模式可能与内在化和外在疾病（分别在女性和男性中）相关联（分别是女性和男性）； （1b）检查成人典型的神经反应对情绪刺激的模式的出现，但迄今为止尚未在儿童中观察到这些刺激的兴趣； （2）检查情绪处理，因为儿童第一次处理情绪刺激，以及他们通过记忆重新体验事件，从而对情绪处理的发展变化提供了更完整的看法。拟议的研究将阐明童年至青春期中情绪处理的典型发展过程，当期望情绪处理的成熟模式变得明显时。这项研究将是旨在理解情绪处理的后来翻译工作的基础，例如在童年和青春期的内在化和外在化疾病中观察到的。在当下和基于记忆中检查情绪处理的范例的结合将特别有力，并且具有高的生态有效性。
