机构化后的儿童经常表现出持续的社会情感困难。例如，一些刚从收容所出来的孩子在面对陌生的成年人时会表现出不寻常的缺乏社交保留。这种行为被称为不加区别的友好行为、不受抑制的依恋行为和不受抑制的社会行为，我们通过比较从机构收养的国际儿童、从寄养家庭收养的国际儿童和由亲生家庭抚养的儿童来研究这种行为。病因因素和行为相关因素也进行了调查。两组被收养的孩子都比非被收养的孩子表现出更多的社会行为。在所研究的病因因素中，只有在机构护理中的时间长度与解除社会行为抑制有关。无抑制的社会行为与一般认知能力、依恋相关行为或基本情感能力无显著相关。然而，这种行为是负相关的抑制控制能力，即使在控制的时间长度在机构照顾。这些结果表明，解除抑制的社会行为可能反映了抑制控制的潜在缺陷。
Postinstitutionalized children frequently demonstrate persistent socioemotional difficulties. For example, some postinstitutionalized children display an unusual lack of social reserve With unfamiliar adults. This behavior, which has been referred to as indiscriminate friendliness, disinhibited attachment behavior, and disinhibited social behavior, was examined by comparing children internationally adopted from institutional care to children internationally adopted from foster care and children raised by their biological families. Etiological factors and behavioral correlates were also investigated. Both groups of adopted children displayed more disinhibited social behavior than the nonadopted children. Of the etiological factors examined, only the length of time in institutional care was related to disinhibited social behavior. Disinhibited social behavior was not significantly correlated with general cognitive ability, attachment-related behaviors, or basic emotion abilities. However, this behavior was negatively associated with inhibitory control abilities even after controlling for the length of time in institutional care. These results suggest that disinhibited social behavior might reflect underlying deficits in inhibitory control.
