The perceived salience of errors can be influenced by individual-level motivational factors. Specifically, those who endorse a high degree of collectivism, a cultural value that emphasizes prioritization of interpersonal relationships, may find errors occurring in a social context to be more aversive than individuals who endorse collectivism to a lesser degree, resulting in upregulation of a neural correlate of error-monitoring, the error-related negativity (ERN). This study aimed to identify cultural variation in neural response to errors occurring in a social context in a sample of diverse adolescents. It was predicted that greater collectivism would be associated with enhanced neural response to errors occurring as part of a team. Participants were 95 Latinx (n = 35), Asian American (n = 20) and non-Latinx White (n = 40) adolescents (ages 13–17) who completed a go/no-go task while continuous electroencephalogram was recorded. The task included social (team) and non-social (individual) conditions. ERN was quantified using mean amplitude measures. Regression models demonstrated that collectivism modulated neural response to errors occurring in a social context, an effect that was most robust for Latinx adolescents. Understanding cultural variation in neural sensitivity to social context could inform understanding of both normative and maladaptive processes associated with self-regulation.

集体主义与青少年对社会显着错误的神经反应增强有关

错误的感知显着性可能受到个人层面的动机因素的影响。具体来说，那些支持高度集体主义（一种强调人际关系优先级的文化价值观）的人可能会发现在社会环境中发生的错误比支持集体主义程度较低的个人更令人厌恶，从而导致神经相关性的上调错误监控，错误相关的消极性（ERN）。本研究旨在确定不同青少年样本中对社会环境中发生的错误的神经反应的文化差异。据预测，更大的集体主义将与增强神经对作为团队一部分发生的错误的反应有关。参与者是 95 名拉丁裔（n = 35），亚裔美国人 (n = 20) 和非拉丁裔白人 (n = 40) 青少年 (13-17 岁) 在记录连续脑电图的同时完成了一个去/不去任务。任务包括社会（团队）和非社会（个人）条件。使用平均幅度测量对 ERN 进行量化。回归模型表明，集体主义调节了对社会环境中发生的错误的神经反应，这种效应对拉丁裔青少年最为有效。了解对社会背景的神经敏感性的文化差异可以帮助理解与自我调节相关的规范和适应不良过程。回归模型表明，集体主义调节了对社会环境中发生的错误的神经反应，这种效应对拉丁裔青少年最为有效。了解对社会背景的神经敏感性的文化差异可以帮助理解与自我调节相关的规范和适应不良过程。回归模型表明，集体主义调节了对社会环境中发生的错误的神经反应，这种效应对拉丁裔青少年最为有效。了解对社会背景的神经敏感性的文化差异可以帮助理解与自我调节相关的规范和适应不良过程。
