EEG asymmetry at 10 months of age: are temperament trait predictors different for boys and girls?
Frontal EEG asymmetry patterns represent markers of individual differences in emotion reactivity and regulation, with right hemisphere activation linked with withdrawal behaviors/emotions (e.g., fear), and activation of the left hemisphere associated with approach (e.g., joy, anger). In the present study, gender was examined as a potential moderator of links between infant temperament at 5 mont...
متن کاملDo positive and negative temperament traits interact in predicting risk for depression? A resting EEG study of 329 preschoolers.
Researchers have long been interested in whether particular temperamental traits in childhood connote risk for depressive disorders. For example, children characterized as having high negative emotionality (NE; sadness, fear, anger) and low positive emotionality (PE; anhedonia, listlessness, and lack of enthusiasm) are hypothesized to be at risk for depression. Few studies, however, have examin...
متن کاملHeritability of eeG/erP traitS
The core mission of this dissertation was to examine the genetic architecture of selected EEG and ERP measures that may index important individual differences in brain structure and function. To do so, data were used from an extensive 2.5-hour EEG recording session in a sample of 263 MZ, 303 DZ twins and 195 of their singleton siblings from two age cohorts, one with an average age of about ...
متن کاملMaternal Frontal EEG Asymmetry and Chronic Stressors Moderate the Link between Child Conduct Problems and Maternal Negativity.
Frontal EEG asymmetry is associated with individual differences in positive/negative emotionality and approach/avoidance tendencies. The current study examined the moderating role of maternal resting frontal EEG asymmetry on the link between child behavior problems and maternal harsh parenting, within the context of differing degrees of chronic family stressors (father unemployment, single pare...
متن کاملDopamine-d2-receptor blockade reverses the association between trait approach motivation and frontal asymmetry in an approach-motivation context.
Individual differences in the behavioral approach system (BAS)-referred to as trait approach motivation or trait BAS)-have been linked to both frontal electroencephalogram (EEG) alpha asymmetry between left and right hemispheres (frontal alpha asymmetry) and brain dopamine. However, evidence directly linking frontal alpha asymmetry and dopamine is scarce. In the present study, female experiment...
