To test the inversion of intensity interpretation based on negative relations between newborn and preschool intensity behaviors (Bell, Weller, & Waldrop 1971), 106 normal children were examined at the neonatal and preschool periods. Data analyses were carried out in 2 parts: Part I was an attempt to reconstruct the same measures of intensity Bell et al. used at both periods, and Part II was a broader factor analytic analysis using all measures conceptually related to intensity in the neonatal and preschool periods. In Part I, several correlations were in the direction consistent with inversion, but only 1 of 20 correlations reached significance. In Part II, several significant correlations between intensity behavior at newborn and preschool periods were obtained, indicating intense newborn behavior to be related to low levels of socially negative behaviors. Interpretations of intensity behaviors at both periods and their longitudinal relations are discussed.
为了检验基于新生儿与学龄前强度行为之间负相关关系的强度解释反转情况（贝尔、韦勒和沃尔德罗普，1971年），对106名正常儿童在新生儿期和学龄前进行了检查。数据分析分两部分进行：第一部分试图重建贝尔等人在两个时期所使用的相同强度测量指标，第二部分是使用新生儿期和学龄前所有在概念上与强度相关的测量指标进行更广泛的因素分析。在第一部分中，若干相关性的方向与反转一致，但20个相关性中只有1个达到显著水平。在第二部分中，获得了新生儿期和学龄前强度行为之间的若干显著相关性，表明新生儿期的强烈行为与低水平的社会负面行为相关。讨论了两个时期强度行为的解释及其纵向关系。
