Novel Assessment of the Impact of Irritability on Physiological and Psychological Frustration Responses in Adolescents.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Irritability, typically defined as a proneness to anger, particularly in response to frustration, falls at the intersection of emotion and disruptive behavior. Despite well-defined translational models, there are few convergent findings regarding the pathophysiology of irritability. Most studies utilize computer-based tasks to examine neural responses to frustration, with little work examining stress-related responding to frustration in social contexts. The present study is the first to utilize the novel Frustration Social Stressor for Adolescents (FSS-A) to examine associations between adolescent irritability and psychological and physiological responses to frustration.

Method

The FSS-A was completed by a predominantly male, racially, ethnically, and socioeconomic
