Emotion Regulation and Neural Connectivity After Frustrative Non-Reward in Adolescents: The Moderating Role of Cognitive Flexibility.

ABSTRACT: Difficulties with emotion regulation are implicated in internalizing and externalizing disorders common in adolescence. Cognitive flexibility is foundational for emotion regulation. Prior studies examining neural patterns of adolescent emotion regulation have mainly used emotionally-valenced stimuli to induce negative emotions. However, adolescents' neural recovery after frustrative non-reward, a novel paradigm engaging both emotion regulation and reward networks, and the role of cognitive flexibility during this recovery period remain unexplored. Twenty-seven treatment-seeking adolescents with varying emotion regulation abilities (mean age = 14.53 years, SD = 1.76) completed a monetary incentive delay task modified for frustration induction, where rewards were blocked after 60% of hit tri
