长期的影响，早期的母亲的风格对青少年的反应，外部环境进行了研究，在生活在两个自然组成，不受干扰的社会群体的黑长尾猴。采用主成分分析法对35对母婴的母性行为进行了分析，揭示了两个独立的维度：保护性和拒绝性。保护性的特点是高水平的方法，使接触，约束，并检查从母亲到婴儿，和拒绝与高水平的拒绝，中断接触，离开。当观察到的一岁和2岁的孩子，青少年谁有更多的保护性早期母亲表现出较少的兴趣，在外部环境中，作为衡量的百分比，他们花了时间看外面的家庭围栏。与母亲保护较少的青少年相比，他们进入一个全新的环境所需的时间也更长。母亲的排斥与向外看或进入新环境的潜伏期没有显著相关。这些结果是独立的年龄，性别和统治地位的行为的影响。
The long-term effect of early mothering style on juvenile responsiveness to the external environment was studied in vervet monkeys living in two naturally composed, undisturbed social groups. Mothering behavior for 35 mother-infant dyads was analyzed by principal components analysis which revealed two independent dimensions: protectiveness and rejection. Protectiveness was characterized by high levels of approach, making contact, restraint, and inspection from mother to infant, and rejection was associated with high levels of rejection, breaking contact, and leaving. When observed as yearlings and 2-year-olds, juveniles who had more protective early mothering showed less interest in the external environment, as measured by the percentage of time they spent looking outside the home enclosure. They also took longer to enter a completely novel environment compared to juveniles who had had less protective mothers. Maternal rejection was not significantly associated with looking out or with latency to enter the novel environment. These results were independent of the effects of age, sex, and dominance rank on behavior.
