报告主题：Parent-Child Neural Synchrony and Child Resilience: Integrating Meta-Analytic Evidence with Findings on Physiological Stress Responses
报告人：博士研究生：王重翔
内 容：
Interbrain neural synchrony (INS), reflecting coordinated neural activity during parent-child interactions, has been proposed as an important biobehavioral scaffold for child social-emotional development. However, whether greater synchrony is consistently associated with more adaptive developmental outcomes remains an open question. This uncertainty is especially salient for child resilience, a core capacity for adapting to adversity and stress, which has received limited empirical attention in the literature. The present study therefore examined the associations between parent-child INS and child resilience through a combination of meta-analytic and 3-year longitudinal empirical approaches.
Study 1 synthesized evidence from 24 studies (k = 54), revealing substantial heterogeneity in the associations between parent-child INS and child developmental outcomes, with higher INS not consistently associated with more adaptive outcomes. This heterogeneity suggests that the association between INS and child developmental outcomes may vary depending on moderating factors.
In Study 2, parent-child INS showed opposite associations with child resilience depending on parental distress. Using fNIRS during a parent-child joint drawing task, neural synchrony and directional information flow were examined in relation to child resilience. Higher left frontopolar prefrontal cortex (FPC) INS was associated with greater child resilience under low parental distress but lower resilience under high parental distress. Directional analyses indicated that this moderation effect was primarily reflected in child-to-parent information flow, potentially reflecting parental monitoring and tracking of children's behavior during cooperation.
In Study 3, parent-child INS was further examined in relation to children's physiological stress regulation, a process potentially relevant to child resilience. In an exploratory analysis of data from a three-year longitudinal follow-up, INS was associated with greater flexibility in children's heart rate variability (HRV) responses to acute stress, encompassing both stress reactivity and post-stress recovery.
Together, these findings highlight the context-dependent association between parent-child INS and child resilience. The exploratory physiological findings further suggest that stress regulation may provide a complementary perspective on understanding child resilience.
