“…These life stages are times of profound change across emotional, neurobiological, motivational, cognitive, and social systems ( Silvers 2022 , Silvers & Peris 2023 ). While there is important cultural variation ( Qu & Telzer 2018 ), adolescents across a variety of species show behavioral changes that have evolved to support independence ( Spear 2000 ). Social relationships are deeply important in adolescence and young adulthood (e.g., Rodosky et al 2023 ), but young people may seek different kinds of relationships for somewhat different reasons than older adults.…”

Intimate relationships are hotbeds of emotion. This article presents key findings and current directions in research on couples’ emotion regulation across adulthood as a critical context in which older adults not only maintain functioning but may also outshine younger adults. First, I introduce key concepts, defining qualities (i.e., dynamic, coregulatory, bidirectional, bivalent), and measures (i.e., self-report versus performance-based) of couples’ emotion regulation. Second, I highlight a socioemotional turn in our understanding of adult development with the advent of socioemotional selectivity theory. Third, I offer a life-span developmental perspective on emotion regulation in couples (i.e., across infancy, adolescence and young adulthood, midlife, and late life). Finally, I present the idea that emotion regulation may shift from “me to us” across adulthood and discuss how emotion regulation in couples may become more important, better, and increasingly consequential (e.g., for relationship outcomes, well-being, and health) with age. Ideas for future research are then discussed.

“…This study utilizes a developmental cultural neuroscience approach (Qu & Telzer, 2017), an emerging interdisciplinary field within cultural and biology interplay (Causadias, Telzer, & Lee, 2017) that investigates the development of cultural processes using neuroimaging methods. This approach provides an important perspective on how culture influences adolescents' adjustment, broadening our understanding of cultural transmission and neural plasticity (Qu & Telzer, 2017). This approach also highlights how sociocultural contexts (e.g., SES and perceived social hierarchies) shape adolescents' neural processing of culturally based information (e.g., race perception), which has implications for cultural differences in youths' adjustment.…”

Subjective social status and neural processing of race in Mexican American adolescents

Adolescence is a sensitive period for sociocultural development in which facets of social identity, including social status and race, become especially salient. Despite the heightened importance of both social status and race during this developmental period, no known work has examined how individual differences in social status influence perceptions of race in adolescents. Thus, in the present study, we investigated how both subjective social status and objective socioeconomic status (SES) influence neural responses to race. Twenty-three Mexican American adolescents (15 females; mean age = 17.22 years) were scanned using functional magnetic resonance imaging while they viewed Black and White faces in a standard labeling task. Adolescents rated their subjective social status in US society, while their parents responded to questions about their educational background, occupation, and economic strain (objective SES). Results demonstrated a negative association between subjective social status and neural responses in the amygdala, fusiform face area, and medial prefrontal cortex when adolescents viewed Black (relative to White) faces. In other words, adolescents with lower subjective social status showed greater activity in neural regions involved in processing salience, perceptual expertise, and thinking about the minds of others when they viewed images of Black faces, suggesting enhanced salience of race for these youth. There was no relationship between objective SES and neural responses to the faces. Moreover, instructing participants to focus on the gender or emotion expression on the face attenuated the relationship between subjective social status and neural processing of race. Together, these results demonstrate that subjective social status shapes the way the brain responds to race, which may have implications for psychopathology.

“…Ethnic identity development captures, through social ties and connections, identification with an ethnic group comprised of people who share cultural features. When considering the brain in this process, the aim is not to compare differences in brain function of people from different cultures (Qu & Telzer, 2018; Seligman et al., 2016). Ethnic identity can be informed by cultural experiences but does not necessarily reflect the embodiment of a cultural self (e.g., how behavioral norms are ingrained), and so, culture and ethnicity should not be equated.…”

“…Another kind of mechanism that may shed light on how ethnic identity functions as a promotive and protective factor concerns how this developmental process may be reflected in the brain. Considering neurodevelopmental frameworks in tandem with developmental frameworks centered on sociocultural contexts may offer novel insights as to how ethnic group connections translate into thoughts and behaviors that support adjustment (Qu & Telzer, 2018). Bridging our understanding of both social cognitive and neurodevelopmental mechanisms through which ethnic identity may function provides a more holistic and integrative developmental assessment of its properties in youth.…”

This study examined how ethnic identity relates to large‐scale brain networks implicated in social interactions, social cognition, self‐definition, and cognitive control. Group Iterative Multiple Model Estimation (GIMME) was used to create sparse, person‐specific networks among the default mode and frontoparietal resting‐state networks in a diverse sample of 104 youths aged 17–21. Links between neural density (i.e., number of connections within and between these networks) and ethnic identity exploration and resolution were evaluated in the full sample. Ethnic identity resolution was positively related to frontoparietal network density, suggesting that having clarity about one’s ethnic group membership is associated with brain network organization reflecting cognitive control. These findings help fill a critical knowledge gap about the neural underpinnings of ethnic identity.
