Example text

If inhibited children experience more intense bodily feedback and impose on this perception an interpretation that implies that they are less virtuous, they should become more civil and law-abiding than others from the same social class or ethnic category. The work of Kochanska (1991) supports this claim. The notion of constraint Although relations between variables are always contingent, the tightness of any sequence can vary over a broad range of probabilities. Because physics and chemistry began their growth before psychology, the predicate ‘determine’ became the preferred way to describe the relation between some prior event and an outcome.

By contrast, infants born with a neurochemistry that raises the threshold of the amygdala and its projections should behave like low reactive infants and display minimal motor activity and minimal crying to unfamiliar stimuli. Further, this argument implies that high reactive infants should develop into avoidant and fearful children while low reactive infants should develop into relatively fearless, sociable children. We observed most of these children when they were 14 and 21 months old. The children who had been high reactive infants were more fearful in reaction to a variety of unfamiliar events compared with the low reactive infants.
