一种假设是，努力控制和冲动与儿童的随和性之间的关系至少部分是通过他们的弹性间接实现的，这一假设得到了检验。82名儿童(男58.67岁)都是参与者。孩子们根据舒适性提名同龄人，并完成努力控制的行为测量。教师和部分家长报告了孩子的努力控制力、冲动、弹性和随和能力。在结构方程模型中，努力控制预测高舒适性，这种关系是通过弹性间接实现的。冲动性预示着较高的弹性，并与宜人性负相关。在另一个模型中，努力控制通过宜人性间接预测高弹性，冲动与宜人性无关。第三个模型表明，除了从努力控制到舒适性的路径外，宜人性和弹性并不能预测努力控制或冲动。研究结果表明，努力的控制和冲动可能有助于弹性和舒适性，弹性和宜人性是相互关联的，弹性儿童没有受到过度控制。
The hypothesis that the relations of effortful control and impulsivity to children's agreeableness would be at least partly indirect through their resiliency was tested. Eighty-two children (M age=58.67 mos.) were participants. Children nominated peers on agreeableness and completed a behavioral measure of effortful control. Teachers and a subsample of parents reported on children's effortful control, impulsivity, resiliency, and agreeableness. In a structural equation model, effortful control predicted high agreeableness, and this relation was indirect through resiliency. Impulsivity predicted high resiliency and was negatively related to agreeableness. In an alternative model, effortful control predicted high resiliency indirectly through agreeableness and impulsivity was not related to agreeableness. A third model indicated that with the exception of a path from effortful control to agreeableness, agreeableness and resiliency did not predict effortful control or impulsivity. The findings suggest that effortful control and impulsivity may contribute to resiliency and agreeableness, that resiliency and agreeableness are interrelated, and that resilient children are not overly controlled.
