我们检查了反映婴儿反应性和调节的行为的连续性、稳定性和变化。当健康婴儿5岁（N = 87）和10个月大（N = 82）时，在实验室环境中观察他们的沮丧情绪。反映反应性的行为包括平均哭泣强度、峰值哭泣强度和哭泣潜伏期的客观评分。此外，定向、回避和非消极交际行为的持续时间被评估为每个年龄段的调节措施。结果显示，随着时间的推移，一些行为的水平发生了变化。此外，验证性因子分析显示了结构的连续性和非连续性：行为在5个月和10个月时被组织成2个相似的因素（反应性和调节），但随着时间的推移，反应性和调节之间的关系变得越来越独立，反应性和调节在5个月时呈负相关，而在10个月时不呈负相关。最后，模型拟合揭示了跨维度而非维度内的稳定性（5个月的反应性预测了10个月的调节）。
We examined continuity, stability, and change in behaviors reflecting infant reactivity and regulation. Healthy infants were observed in laboratory situations designed to elicit frustration when they were 5 (N = 87) and 10 months of age (N = 82). Behaviors indicative of reactivity included objective ratings of average intensity cry, peak intensity cry, and latency to cry. In addition, durations of orienting, avoidant, and nonnegative communicative behaviors were assessed as measures of regulation at each age. Results showed that several behaviors changed in level over time. In addition, Confirmatory Factor Analysis revealed both structural continuity and discontinuity: Behaviors were organized into 2 similar factors at 5 and 10 months (Reactivity and Regulation), but the relation between reactivity and regulation became increasingly independent over time, such that reactivity and regulation were negatively correlated at 5 months but not at 10 months. Finally, model-fitting revealed cross-dimension but not within-dimension stability (5-month reactivity predicted 10-month regulation).
