Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Differences in brainstructure and -functioning related to social cognitive processes. MRI scans: -Structural MRI to acquire information on the attributes of gray and white matter (volume, density, and cortical thickness). -Functional MRI to acquire information on task-related brain activity during social-cognitive processes. Tasks and questionnaires: -The participants will fill in questionnaires about rejection sensitivity, social anticipation, intent attribution, bullying and victimisation, mindset, mental health and perspective taking. -The participants will perform tasks about attention, emotion recognition and behavior towards others. -Parents of participants will, if they are willing, fill in questionnaires about the well-being of their child, the social skills of their child and emotion regulation of their child.	—
