Four-month-old infants were screened (N = 433) for temperamental patterns thought to predict behavioral inhibition, including motor reactivity and the expression of negative affect. Those selected 153) assessed at multiple age points across first 4 years life signs inhibition as well psychophysiological markers frontal electroencephalogram (EEG) asymmetry.

A prospective longitudinal design was employed to ascertain whether different types of behavioral inhibition (i.e., traditional, peer–social) were stable from toddler preschool age, and inhibited temperament and/or parenting style would predict children’s subsequent social problems. At Time 1, 108 toddlers (54 males, 54 females) their mothers observed in the Traditional Inhibition Paradigm a toddler–peer session; then at age 4 years, 88 children with unfamiliar peers, maternal ratings...
In this longitudinal study, the predictive relations between social difficulties in early childhood (grade 2) and subsequent internalizing as well externalizing problems middle 5) were examined. Of particular interest was whether indices of isolation would predict 3 years later. A sample 87 children assessed both grades 2 5 on a variety measures, including sociometric ratings, peer assessments aggression isolation, self‐appraisals competence. second grade, observations isolated aggressive...

Chinese toddlers significantly more inhibited than their Canadian counterparts. Inhibition associated positively with mothers' punishment orientation negatively acceptance encouragement achievement in sample.

Abstract It was proposed that the interaction between constructs of emotion regulation and social would predict adaptation in preschoolers. Ninety-six 4-year-olds were observed quartets unfamiliar same-sex peers. Based on parent temperament ratings free play behaviors, 68 children from original sample classified as: low interaction, good regulators; poor high or average. The results indicated who regulators displayed more wary anxious behaviors during other episodes, rated as having...

Drawn from a sample fifth sixth graders ( M age=10.79 years; SD =.77), 78 shy/withdrawn, 76 aggressive, 85 control children presented with hypothetical situations that first involved unfamiliar peers, then mutual good friend.

RUBIN, KENNETH H. Nonsocial Play in Preschoolers: Necessarily Evil? CHLD DEVELOPMENT, 1982, 53, 651-657. It has been suggested that children who play on their own, without interacting with peers, may be at risk for social, cognitive, and social-cognitive problems. Recently, however, the children's literature revealed some forms of nonsocial activity are constructive adaptive. In this study correlates were examined. 122 4-year-olds observed 20 min during free play. They also administered a...
Rarely have researchers elucidated early childhood precursors of externalizing behaviors for boys and girls from a normative sample. Toddlers (N = 104; 52 girls) were observed interacting with same-sex peer their mothers, indices conflict-aggression, emotion behavior dysregulation, parenting, child problems obtained. Results indicated that initiated more conflictual-aggressive interactions as toddlers had difficulties 2 years later, yet girls' (not boys') conflict-aggressive initiations at...
