摘要：This study explored the relationship of behavioral inhibition to narrative representations. Narratives of 96 four-year-old children were recorded and analyzed by the scoring system of Robinson,Holmberg and Klute(in press). Six clusters were found : Constrained(47.9% ),Anxious/Restricted(23.9%),Emotional Integrated/Empathic(12.5%),Empathic/Avoiant(6.3%),Dysregulated(5.2%) and Anxious/Avoidant(4.2%) clusters. Behavioral inhibition was determined by ovservations using“Play with Unfamiliar Peers(Rubin et al,2002)". Behavioral inhibition differences corresponded to the children's narrative representation clusters;The Anxious/Restricted Cluster was related to more and the Emotional Integrated/Empathic Cluster to less inhibited behavior. In context spicific differences,more inhibited behavior was related to Anxious/Avoidant Clusters during show-and-tes and 10 Empathic/Avoidant Clusters during card-sorting activities,respectively..
