To evaluate the relationship between the childhood temperament behavioral inhibition (BI) and anxiety symptomology, we investigated differences in retrospective reports of childhood BI among undergraduates reporting one of the following: (a) Social anxiety (n = 10), (b) generalized anxiety (n = 13), (c) both social and generalized anxiety (n = 15), and (d) minimal social and generalized anxiety (n = 38). Contrary to the hypothesis that BI acts as a nonspecific risk factor for anxiety symptoms, our findings revealed that a history of childhood BI was associated with symptoms of social phobia but not generalized anxiety disorder. Moreover, participants displaying symptoms of both generalized anxiety disorder and social phobia were no more likely to show a childhood history of BI than participants displaying social phobia symptoms alone. These data suggest that a childhood history of BI may be more strongly associated with adult social anxiety than some other types of anxiety pathology.
为了评估儿童气质行为抑制（BI）与焦虑症状之间的关系，我们调查了以下几类本科生对童年BI的回顾性报告差异：（a）社交焦虑（n = 10），（b）广泛性焦虑（n = 13），（c）社交焦虑和广泛性焦虑兼具（n = 15），以及（d）社交焦虑和广泛性焦虑程度最低（n = 38）。与BI作为焦虑症状非特异性风险因素的假设相反，我们的研究结果显示，童年BI史与社交恐惧症症状相关，但与广泛性焦虑症无关。此外，同时表现出广泛性焦虑症和社交恐惧症症状的参与者，与仅表现出社交恐惧症症状的参与者相比，并没有更可能有童年BI史。这些数据表明，童年BI史可能与成人社交焦虑的关联比与其他类型的焦虑病理更为紧密。
