“…Indeed, adolescents show compromised inhibition in the presence of socially appetitive cues relative to socially aversive cues (Somerville, Jones, & Casey, ), such as happy facial expressions (Hare et al., ; Somerville, Hare, & Casey, ) and positive youth interactions (Perino, Miernicki, & Telzer, ), and engage in greater risk taking in the presence of peers (King, McLaughlin, Silk, & Monahan, ). Given that adolescents exhibit poorer inhibition in the presence of appetitive stimuli compared to aversive stimuli (Breiner et al., ; Perino et al., ; Somerville et al., ), adolescents may require greater regulation to successfully inhibit actions in appetitive social contexts. This developmental shift in emotion regulation is thought to arise due to altered activation in regulatory (e.g., medial prefrontal cortex [mPFC]) and affective (e.g., amygdala, ventral striatum) neural regions (Lee et al., ; Somerville et al., ).…”
