运用人格和情绪理论对成人情绪功能的发展前因进行了流行病学研究。作者测试了不同类型的成人情绪困扰是否与童年的性格特征有关。利用3138名7岁儿童的数据，开发并验证了4种儿童人格特征的测量方法：行为抑制、痛苦倾向、注意力和不适当的人际自我调节。通过考虑跨多个样本的措施并与已建立的儿童行为措施进行比较，证明了这些量表的健全心理测量特性。对其中694名35岁的人进行了情绪困扰测量。在人格属性中，4项中有3项（除行为抑制外）预测了一般的痛苦水平以及成人情感功能的特定方面。
Developmental antecedents to adult emotional functioning were investigated in an epidemiologic study using theories of personality and emotion. The authors tested whether different types of adult emotional distress can be linked to childhood personality attributes. Using data from 3,138 children at age 7, measures of 4 childhood personality attributes were developed and validated: Behavioral Inhibition, Distress Proneness, Attention, and Inappropriate Interpersonal Self-Regulation. Sound psychometric properties of these scales are demonstrated by considering the measures across multiple samples and in comparison with established child behavior measures. Emotional distress measures were obtained for 694 of these individuals at age 35. Of the personality attributes, 3 of 4 (except behavioral inhibition) predicted general levels of distress as well as specific aspects of adult emotional functioning.
