Social behavior in young twins. Are fearfulness, prosocial and aggressive behavior related to frontal asymmetry?
Wednesday 12 June 2019 Ilse van Wijk defends her PhD dissertation on ‘Social behavior in young twins. Are fearfulness, prosocial and aggressive behavior related to frontal asymmetry?’ at Leiden University.
Ilse aimed to gain insight in the neural correlates of fearfulness, prosocial behaviour and aggressive behaviour in early childhood. Specifically in frontal asymmetry (FA) in relation to fearfulness, prosocial behaviour and aggressive behaviour. She examined two new tasks to measure social behaviour in reaction to social exclusion and social judgments: Prosocial Owl Game (POG) and Social Network Aggression Task for Early Childhood (SNAT-EC). The studies of Ilse’s thesis were embedded in the longitudinal twin study: the Leiden Consortium on Individual Development (L-CID).
