Have you been bullied by campus? Have you seen the phenomenon of campus bullying around you? Studies have shown that the violence and victims in campus bullying will be greatly harmed.

Statistics show that about 25%-50%of teenagers have become violence or victims of campus bullying, and they may also have both identities. In any case, this will cause great damage to their physical and mental health, and even induce pain, depression and anxiety.

"Social Cognition and Application Neuroscience" commented on this: "It can be seen that the driver behind the phenomenon of bullying to reduce the damage of adolescents is crucial." A new study shows that violence shows that violence violence The response of the brain of the victim's brain to anger and fear is very different.

The University of California, Davis, Svos and others recruited 49 young people 12-15 years old from the local community. The subjects truthfully stated the experience of being bullied or bullying in the past 12 months.

Here is a form of non -physiological bullying, including reputation destruction and social isolation, such as deliberately excluding victims at the party, or hurting others in gossip.

After that, the researchers showed the subject a series of facial expression images representing fear, anger and happiness, and scanned their brains with FMRI.

The research team found that the activity mode of the subject almond nucleus (responsible for identifying a dangerous signal) was significantly correlated with the degree of bullying behavior.

The almond core of the perpetrator often responds strongly to the anger, and the response to the fear of fear is weak. The victims showed a significant enhancement of almond nuclear activities on anger and fear.

In addition, for a subject who has not participated in the bullying response, its front buckle cortex (RACC) also shows an increase in activities when facing the fear face.

The above results show that the conversion of violence and victims will create a completely different neural activity model, which may help us to further understand the processing model of social information, so as to find that those potential perpetrators and victims will prevent the bullying behavior to prevent the dysentery behavior from suffering from developing bullying behaviors. Before it.

Researchers believe that young people who are more sensitive to angry expressions often tend to understand unclear social signals as hostility.

At the same time, the low reactivity of fear expressions has made them lack talent in perception of others, which leads to a decline in empathy. The two factors above determine that they are more likely to become the perpetrators in bullying.

At the same time, young people who are very sensitive to fear and anger are more inclined to avoid their companions, and refusing to socialize is one of the important reasons for the victim.

So what kind of role does the cortex play in front of the beak buckle? The Svos team speculated that the cortex of the beak was involved in the integration of society and emotional information.

Therefore, adolescents who have a strong face response to fear may have stronger handling of the pain of others, which will promote the emergence of sympathy, thereby reducing their possibility of becoming a bullies.

Nevertheless, the study still has certain limitations. First of all, the amount of samples of research is relatively small, and it is necessary to verify in a larger sample experiment to prove its feasibility.

In addition, the subject's empathy has not received quantitative research. Another problem, this is just a cross -section research. Therefore, the differences in the almond nuclear activity mode may be caused by the past bullying relationship, and the cause and effect relationship between the two is unknown.

As researchers say: "If the results of the research can be extended to more vertical research in the future, the relationship between social emotional treatment preferences and bullies risk will gradually become clear and help us find more targeted intervention methods. ","
