Perceived relational value describes the extent to which individuals consider themselves to be liked and valued. Given the salience of peer opinions in adolescence, perceived relational value is an important part of adolescents’ developing self‐concept. Here, we examined the neural correlates of youth’s perceptions of their relational value in two independent samples (N = 33, M_age = 13.71, SD = 2.71; N = 26, M_age = 15.43, SD = 0.33). In both studies, peer victimization was associated with lower perceived relational value behaviorally and with altered frontostriatal connectivity when perceiving low relational value during fMRI. Our results suggest that peer victimization may lead youth to become biased about how they will be perceived socially and may disrupt connectivity between brain regions involved in responding to appetitive social stimuli.

像我一样回来：同伴受害青年中低感知关系价值的神经关联

感知关系价值描述了个人认为自己被喜欢和重视的程度。鉴于青春期同伴意见的突出性，感知到的关系价值是青少年自我概念发展的重要组成部分。在这里，我们在两个独立样本中检查了青少年对其关系价值的看法的神经相关性（N  = 33，M_年龄 = 13.71，SD  = 2.71；N  = 26，M_年龄 = 15.43，SD = 0.33）。在这两项研究中，同伴受害与行为上感知到的关系价值较低有关，并且在功能磁共振成像期间感知到关系价值较低时，与额纹状体连接的改变有关。我们的研究结果表明，同伴受害可能会导致青少年对自己在社会上的看法产生偏见，并可能破坏参与应对社会食欲刺激的大脑区域之间的连接。
