The social behaviours of inhibited children in and out of preschool

Abstract: The goal of the present study was to explore the social behaviours of inhibited children in familiar social contexts, including: (1) free play with peers at preschool and (2) social activities at home and in the community. The initial participants were N = 248 preschool children between the ages of 42 and 66 months. From this initial data, two smaller groups of inhibited (N = 12) and uninhibited comparison (N = 12) children were identified. These children were observed during free play at preschool and parents… Show more

“…Column 3 indicates that disposition was statistically significantly and negatively correlated to the withdrawn/depressed and internalizing variables, and positively correlated to the aggressive behaviour and externalizing variables, with small to medium effect sizes. This finding is consistent with research indicating that children who are more outgoing or uninhibited tend to display less behaviour indicative of anxiety, compared with inhibited and socially shy children (Coplan, DeBow, Schneider, & Graham, 2009). These findings also support research indicating that children who engage in aggressive behaviour tend to display high levels of activity in class (Nagin & Tremblay, 2001 with executive functioning.…”

“…También, muestran habitualmente un comportamiento reservado e índices mayores de ansiedad durante el juego libre con sus compañeros de colegio Coplan, Prakash, O'Neil y Armer, 2004). Fuera del contexto escolar, las madres describen a sus hijos inhibidos como menos activos socialmente con sus semejantes y más propensos a jugar solos en casa con un amigo (Coplan, DeBow, Schneider y Graham, 2009), lo que aumenta el riesgo de presentar malas relaciones, rechazo y exclusión de sus iguales (Coplan et al, 2004). De hecho, uno de los criterios que definen a los niños con alta IC es la presencia de bajas tasas de interacción con sus iguales (Monjas y Caballo, 2002).…”
