我们研究了抑制性控制作为一种有助于内化的气质品质。儿童在26-41个月（N = 103）和43-56个月（N = 99）时进行了两次评估，在多次观察情况下并使用父母报告。综合行为电池结合多个任务的设计，以测量幼儿和学龄前儿童的抑制控制。他们有很好的内部评级，符合母亲的评级，并发育敏感。个别儿童的表现在两个评估中显着相关，表明稳定的个体差异。女孩在这两个年龄段都超过了男孩。观察儿童的内化，而他们单独与禁止的对象，与一个平凡的家务，玩游戏，避免作弊，被诱导违反行为标准，并使用母亲的报告进行评估。抑制控制与内化显著相关，无论是同期还是作为纵向意义上的预测因子。考虑儿童的气质作为一个显着的，但往往被忽视的贡献者发展内化的影响进行了讨论。
We examined inhibitory control as a quality of temperament that contributes to internalization. Children were assessed twice, at 26-41 months (N = 103) and at 43-56 months (N = 99), on repeated occasions, in multiple observational contexts and using parental reports. Comprehensive behavioral batteries incorporating multiple tasks were designed to measure inhibitory control at toddler and preschool age. They had good internal consistencies, corresponded with maternal ratings, and were developmentally sensitive. Individual children's performance was significantly correlated across both assessments, indicating stable individual differences. Girls surpassed boys at both ages. Children's internalization was observed while they were alone with prohibited objects, with a mundane chore, playing games that occasioned cheating, being induced to violate standards of conduct, and assessed using maternal reports. Inhibitory control was significantly associated with internalization, both contemporaneously and as a predictor in the longitudinal sense. The implications for considering children's temperament as a significant, yet often neglected contributor to developing internalization are discussed.
