“Give me the child until he is seven, and I will give you the man,” the old Jesuit saying goes.
Many people have wondered if adult personality is set considerably earlier in life. Yet
science has provided few answers, thwarted by the challenges of running studies that take
decades to produce results.
Nevertheless, Dr Alva Tang of the University of Maryland and colleagues have tackled the
question, assessing 165 infants at 14 months old and then again decades later. Inevitably,
there was a substantial (36) ____________(DROP) in participation, but the
team write in Proceedings of The National Academy of Sciences that they "provide the
strongest and earliest evidence showing that infants with an inhibited temperament at 14
months became introverted adults.”
Psychologists use behavioral inhibition (BI) to describe infants who, in the paper's words,
show “overly cautious, fearful, and (37) _____________(AVOID) responses to unfamiliar
people, objects, and situations compared to non-inhibited infants.” The same
characteristics have been identified in the young of many non-human species.
Infants in the study with high BI were more likely to be reserved and introverted adults
with fewer romantic relationships and they describe lower social functioning with friends
and family. High infant BI was also associated with anxiety and depression in adulthood.
Moreover, the authors acknowledge the size of the effects they found were modest. Many
children with high BI were not reserved at all as adults, let alone prone to depression.
Infant BI appears to be just one factor among many that shape adult personality.
Other scientists have shown BI tends to persist into early childhood, marked by greater
social (39)________________(WITHDRAW) and difficulties in forming peer relationships.
However, even those studies started at age 3 or 4 and relied on parental surveys.
Tang not only started earlier, but had trained observers assess the infants' behavior in a
new environment at 14 months, followed by conducting tests at 15. Participants'
brainwaves were then measured with EEGs and surveys at 26.
