However, few studies have explored social information processes in adolescents.ThisstudyexaminedthebehavioralandERPcorrelatesofemotionalprocessinginadolescentswithdifferent attachmentorientations(insecureattachmentgroupandsecureattachmentgroup;IAGandSAG,respectively).Thisstudy alsoexploredtheassociationofthesecorrelatestoindividualneuropsychologicalprofiles. Methodology/PrincipalFindings:Weusedamodifiedversionofthedualvalencetask(DVT),inwhichparticipantsclassify stimuli (faces and words) according toemotional valence(positive or negative). Results showedthat theI
