我们研究了静息额叶脑电图（EEG）不对称性和同伴游戏期间社交行为的相互作用是否与学龄前儿童适应不良行为的发生有关。观察到两组独立的儿童在 4 岁时在同龄和异性游戏四重奏中互动。每个孩子还单独参加心理生理学课程，在此期间记录脑电图活动的时间测量值。我们发现，表现出较大的右额叶脑电图相对不对称性的高度社交儿童比表现出较大的左额叶脑电图不对称性的社交性儿童更有可能表现出外化问题。我们还发现，表现出相对较大的右额叶脑电图不对称性的害羞儿童比表现出左额叶脑电图不对称性的害羞儿童更有可能表现出内化问题。这些发现表明，额叶脑电图不对称模式与社会行为风格相结合是学龄前时期适应不良行为问题的重要预测因素。
We examined whether the interaction of resting frontal electroencephalogram (EEG) asymmetry and social behavior during peer play was related to the occurrence of maladaptive behavior in preschoolers. Two independent cohorts of children were observed interacting in same-age and -gender play quartets at 4 years of age. Each child was also seen individually for a psychophysiology session during which time measures of EEG activity were recorded. We found that highly sociable children who exhibited greater relative right frontal EEG asymmetry were more likely to exhibit externalizing problems than sociable children who exhibited greater relative left frontal EEG asymmetry. We also found that shy children who exhibited greater relative right frontal EEG asymmetry were more likely to exhibit internalizing problems than shy children who exhibited left frontal EEG asymmetry. These findings suggest that the pattern of frontal EEG asymmetry in combination with social behavioral style is a significant predictor of maladaptive behavior problems during the preschool period.
