Brain scans reveal who really calms a stressed teen: parent or best friend?
NCT ID NCT04312945
Summary
This study aimed to understand how the comforting presence of a parent or a close friend affects a teenager's stress response. Researchers measured brain activity, heart rate, and stress hormones in 202 adolescents while they completed emotional tasks in an MRI scanner, either alone, with a parent, or with a friend. The goal was to learn how this 'social buffering' changes as teens go through puberty.
