The Impact of Internet Pornography on Adolescents: A Review of the Research (2012, background): “While they do not address the issue of pornography, Valkenburg and Peter (2011) asserted that communicating with others online may provide adolescents with increased degrees of self-esteem.”
Individual Differences in Risky Decision Making: A Meta‐analysis of Sensation Seeking and Impulsivity with the Balloon Analogue Risk Task (2014, background): “Although sensation seeking and impulsivity may each affect risk taking, they also proved to be conceptually and empirically distinct constructs (Kirby & Finch, 2010; Steinberg, 2007, 2008; Steinberg et al., 2008; Whiteside & Lynam, 2001).”
The Economics of Human Development and Social Mobility (2014, neutral): “46 gence of self-control and other regulatory functions associated with the developing prefrontal cortex (see, e.g., Steinberg, 2007, 2008).”
Adolescent risk taking, impulsivity, and brain development: implications for prevention. (2010, background): “This maturational gap in development of PFC-based control relative to more advanced motivational circuitry is said to result in an inevitable period of risk for adolescents (Casey et al., 2008; Nelson et al., 2002; Steinberg, 2008).”
The influence of puberty on subcortical brain development (2014, positive): “In this study, we investigated how the developmental trajectories of subcortical regions that are linked to stereotypical behaviours are associated with pubertal development (Forbes and Dahl, 2010; Steinberg, 2008):”
Who’s messing with my mind? (2008, background): “Steinberg and others have suggested that the onset of puberty is associated with an enhanced responsiveness to rewarding stimuli, including socio-emotional stimuli, in the absence of any correspondingly rapid enhancement of cognitive control capacities (e.g. Steinberg 2007, 2008; Casey et al. 2008).”
Age differences in sensation seeking and impulsivity as indexed by behavior and self-report: evidence for a dual systems model. (2008, background): “In the past several years, a new perspective on risk taking and decision making during adolescence has emerged, one that is informed by advances in developmental neuroscience (Casey, Getz, & Galvan, 2008; Steinberg, 2008).”
The meaning of risk-taking – key concepts and dimensions (2019, background): “These studies differ from approaches that conceptualise risk-taking as a need or drive (von Cube 1990), or an evolutionarily developed behavioural pattern (Greitemeyer, Kastenmüller, and Fischer 2013), or as characterising a particular developmental stage (Steinberg 2008).”
Mindfulness and Inhibitory Control in Early Adolescence (2012, background): “Puberty is a time in development characterized by unique neuroendocrine regulation (see Jessop & Turner-Cobb, 2007) as well as developmentally specific cognitive functioning (Steinberg, 2008).”
The dual systems model: Review, reappraisal, and reaffirmation (2015, positive): “As we have noted in previus publications (e.g., Steinberg, 2008), these accounts have been argely undermined by available evidence.”
Racial/ethnic socialization for White youth: What we know and future directions (2018, background): “Additionally, adolescents also begin to show heightened sensitivity to peer influence related to structural and functional changes in the brain (e.g., Steinberg, 2008).”
Behavioral and neural properties of social reinforcement learning (2011, background): “Psychologists have proposed that positive social exchanges are fundamentally rewarding for humans (Bandura and Walters, 1963; Baumeister and Leary, 1995; Steinberg, 2008), suggesting that learning from social interactions may draw on basic reinforcement learning mechanisms.”
