In a longitudinal study, 87 children were observed in dyadic free-play sessions with unfamiliar peers at 4, 6, and 8 years of age and were judged by their parents for inhibition. Correlational analyses showed that observed inhibited behavior as well as parental judgments of inhibition became increasingly associated with solitary-passive activity and lost an initial negative correlation with parallel play. Extreme group analyses of the time structure of the behavior of continuously inhibited and control children indicated that with increasing age, many inhibited children spend longer periods in solitary-passive activity, whereas many controls spend longer periods in social behavior. These findings suggest that dispositional inhibition toward strangers becomes increasingly associated with unsociable behavior, which makes it difficult to distinguish between the dispositions of inhibition and unsociability at the empirical level.
在一项纵向研究中，对87名儿童在4岁、6岁和8岁时与不熟悉的同龄人进行的二元自由玩耍环节进行了观察，并由他们的父母对其抑制能力进行评判。相关分析表明，观察到的抑制行为以及父母对抑制能力的评判与单独被动活动的关联越来越紧密，并且与平行游戏最初的负相关关系消失。对持续抑制组和对照组儿童行为时间结构的极端组分析表明，随着年龄的增长，许多抑制组儿童在单独被动活动中花费的时间更长，而许多对照组儿童在社交行为中花费的时间更长。这些发现表明，对陌生人的气质性抑制与不合群行为的关联越来越紧密，这使得在实证层面难以区分抑制和不合群的气质。
