Abstract

Perceived threat in youth’s social contexts can elevate risk for adverse outcomes spanning multiple domains. We investigated the relationship between profiles of multicontextual perceived threat and neural activation during an emotional working-memory task. Profiles characterized by elevated perceived neighborhood threat showed decreased neural activation in areas related to working memory.
