The relations among infant anger reactivity, approach behavior, and frontal EEG asymmetry, and their relations to inhibitory control and behavior problems in early childhood were examined within the context of a longitudinal study of temperament. Two hundred and nine infants' anger expressions to arm restraint were observed at 4 months of age. Infants' approach behaviors during play with an unpredictable toy and baseline frontal electroencephalogram (EEG) asymmetry were assessed at 9 months of age. Inhibitory control during a Go/No-Go task and parent-report of behavior problems were evaluated at 4 years of age. High anger-prone infants with left, but not right, frontal EEG asymmetry showed significantly more approach behaviors and less inhibitory control relative to less anger-prone infants. Although a link between anger proneness in infancy and behavior problems in early childhood was not found, a combination of low approach behaviors and poor inhibitory control was predictive of internalizing behaviors.
在一项关于气质的纵向研究背景下，研究了婴儿愤怒反应性、趋近行为和额叶脑电图不对称性之间的关系，以及它们与幼儿期抑制控制和行为问题的关系。在4个月大时观察了209名婴儿对手臂约束的愤怒表情。在9个月大时评估了婴儿在玩不可预测玩具时的趋近行为以及基线额叶脑电图（EEG）不对称性。在4岁时评估了“是/否”任务中的抑制控制以及家长报告的行为问题。与不易发怒的婴儿相比，左侧额叶脑电图不对称（而非右侧）的高易怒婴儿表现出明显更多的趋近行为和更少的抑制控制。尽管未发现婴儿期易怒与幼儿期行为问题之间的联系，但低趋近行为和差的抑制控制相结合可预测内化行为。
