The findings, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, showed that the babies who showed BI tended to have a more reserved personality at age 26. They also reported having fewer romantic relationships in the previous ten years, and lower social functioning with friends and family. However, BI was not linked with the participants’ education and employment outcomes.
In addition, the team also found that children who had shown sensitivity to making errors during the assessments at age 15 had a higher risk for internalizing disorders such as anxiety and depression in adulthood. “While many studies link early childhood behavior to risk for psychopathology, the findings in our study are unique,” said Daniel Pine, M.D., one of the study’s authors. “This is because our study assessed temperament very early in life, linking it with outcomes occurring more than 20 years later through individual differences in neural processes.”
The researchers say that the findings may help make it easier to identify earlier the individuals who are most at risk for developing internalizing disorders in adulthood. “We have studied the biology of behavioral inhibition over time and it is clear that it has a profound effect influencing developmental outcome,” added study author Dr. Nathan Fox, with the team recommending further research with larger and more diverse groups of subjects.
