Disentangling the role of different resting-state neural markers of adolescent behavioral inhibition and social anxiety.

ABSTRACT: One of the most reliable predictors of adolescent social anxiety is the temperamental profile of behavioral inhibition (BI), but there is considerable heterogeneity in this association. Resting-state EEG-based neural markers, namely frontal alpha asymmetry and delta-beta coupling (DBC), hold promise for improving our understanding of the relation between BI and social anxiety symptoms during adolescence. The current study aimed to (1) clarify the relation between these neural markers, BI, and social anxiety and (2) examine the moderating role, individually, of frontal alpha asymmetry and DBC on the BI-social anxiety link. Participants were 97 adolescents (M_age = 14.29 years, SD_age = .98; 84.4 % White, 3.1 % Black, 12.5 % multiracial; 54.6 % female) and their parents.
