An Evaluation of Dual Systems Theories of Adolescent Delinquency in a Normative Longitudinal Cohort Study of Youth J. Youth. Adolescence (IF 3.121) Pub Date : 2021-04-15 Aja Louise Murray, Xinxin Zhu, Jessica Hafetz Mirman, Denis Ribeaud, Manuel Eisner
Dual systems theories of adolescent risk-taking propose that the socioemotional and self-regulation systems develop at different rates, resulting in a peak in sensation-seeking in adolescence at a time when self-regulation abilities are not yet fully mature. This “developmental imbalance” between bottom-up drives for reward and top-down control is proposed to create a period of vulnerability for high-risk
