Peer rejection cues induce cardiac slowing after transition into adolescence.
Abstract
The present study examined developmental and gender differences in sensitivity to peer rejection across the transition into adolescence by examining beat-by-beat heart rate responses. Children between the ages of 8 and 14 years were presented with unfamiliar faces of age-matched peers and were asked to predict whether they would be liked by the other person. Their prediction was followed by feedback indicating that the peer had accepted or rejected them. Results revealed cardiac slowing to unexpected peer rejection in 11- to 14-year-olds. The cardiac response to unexpected rejection was most pronounced in girls. This pattern of findings supports the hypothesis of an increase in sensitivity to peer rejection after transition into adolescence and indicates that social rejection may be particularly salient in adolescent girls.

Some studies on cardiac recruitment during cognitive/emotional tasks observed increased IBI event (decrease in cardiac recruitment) after 2000 ms from the emotional stimulus, which they considered a decrease in cognitive engagement after habituation.
“some studies on the cardiac recruitment during cognitive/emotional tasks30,31, observed increased IBI event (decrease in cardiac recruitment) after 2000 ms period from the emotional stimulus. These authors considered these findings as a decrease in cognitive engagement after habituation in relation to the exposed emotional stimulus.”

The finding of decreased IBI event (increased cardiac recruitment) during active cognitive reappraisal strategies reflects greater cognitive engagement.
“Here, the finding regarding the use of both active cognitive reappraisal strategies occurs in the opposite direction, that is, a decrease in IBI event (increased cardiac recruitment), which, therefore, following the literature30–32, would reflect a greater cognitive engagement.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
