Momentary Peer Acceptance: An fMRI-EMA Integration Study of Peer Acceptance and Emotions.
Article in Child psychiatry and human development, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
In daily life, experiences of peer acceptance play a crucial role in shaping adolescents' emotional functioning, influencing both positive and negative emotional experiences. While prior research has linked general levels of peer acceptance to adolescent emotions using survey and laboratory-based measures, little work has examined momentary associations in naturalistic settings or investigated the neural mechanisms that may moderate these relationships. This study integrates ecological momentary assessment (EMA) and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) to examine momentary associations of peer acceptance in 72 adolescents (ages 14-17) over 28 days. Results showed that momentary experiences of peer acceptance predicted higher positive emotions and lower negative emotions. Additionally, results revealed that adolescents with lower baseline temporoparietal junction (TPJ) and lower baseline anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) activation showed a stronger momentary association between peer acceptance and positive emotion. Baseline neural activation did not moderate the momentary relationship between peer acceptance and negative emotions. These findings support that momentary experiences of peer acceptance impact adolescents' emotions in moments each day and suggests potential neural moderators for positive emotions. Findings have implications for the development of neuroscience-informed momentary peer interventions for adolescents.
