Article Synopsis
- Children with a behaviorally inhibited temperament are at increased risk for developing anxiety disorders and often use less effective control strategies throughout their development.
- Longitudinal research on 149 adolescents showed that higher inhibitory control in early childhood led to a faster increase in anxiety symptoms during adolescence, irrespective of temperament.
- The study found that while behaviorally inhibited children had lower planful control at age 12, they improved more rapidly over time, indicating a complex relationship between early temperament, cognitive control abilities, and anxiety symptoms from toddlerhood to late adolescence.
