这项研究试图阐明年轻人产生回避反应的机制。40名婴儿在第二年期间被反复观察，在各种轻微挑战的情况下，然后在3岁半的一系列后续评估中再次观察。对重复测量之间的协方差模式的分析支持两种不同类型的回避机制--倾向于对陌生的人保持警惕，以及倾向于在接触到轻微困难的情况后变得“恐惧”。每种现象都构成了个体差异的独立来源。事实证明，由于先前经验而不同的行为可以很好地预测未来的社会取向；最初警惕的变化不能预测未来的社会取向。
The study seeks to illuminate the mechanisms that mediate avoidant reactions in young humans. 40 babies repeatedly were observed throughout their second year in a variety of mildly challenging situations, and then again in a series of follow-up assessments at age 3 1/2. Analysis of the covariance patterns among the repeated measurements supports positing 2 distinct types of avoidant mechanism--an inclination to be "wary" of the unfamilar, and a proclivity to be "fearful" after exposure to a mildly difficult situation. Each type of phenomena constituted an independent source of individual differences. Behaviors that differed as a result of prior experience proved fairly predictive of future social orientations; variations in initial wariness did not.
