对 356 名儿童进行了一对 3 波（相隔 2 年）纵向研究，对 5 至 10 岁的 356 名儿童进行了注意力集中（根据家长和教师报告）、注意力和行为持久性（在实验室任务中观察到）的发展轨迹（两个努力控制指标）以及外化问题。作者确定了具有不同变量轨迹的儿童群体，并研究了努力控制轨迹与外化问题轨迹之间的联系。尽管注意力集中保持相对稳定，但注意力和行为持久性继续表现出平均水平的变化（特别是在持久性水平较低的儿童中）。努力控制轨迹较高且稳定的儿童往往表现出较低且稳定的外化问题轨迹，而努力控制轨迹较低和/或不稳定的儿童则表现出更高和/或波动的外化问题轨迹。
The developmental trajectories of attention focusing (by parents' and teachers' reports) and attentional and behavioral persistence (observed during a laboratory task)--2 indexes of effortful control--and externalizing problems from ages 5 to 10 years were examined for 356 children combined from a pair of 3-wave (2 years apart) longitudinal studies. The authors identified clusters of children with distinct trajectories for these variables and examined the links between the effortful control trajectories and the externalizing problem trajectories. Although attention focusing remained relatively stable, attentional and behavioral persistence continued to show mean-level changes (especially among the children with lower levels of persistence). Children with high and stable trajectories of effortful control tended to exhibit low and stable trajectories of externalizing problems, whereas those with lower and/or less stable trajectories of effortful control showed more elevated and/or fluctuating trajectories of externalizing problems.
