- Examined whether inhibition should be considered a trait dimension, or whether those who manifest extreme inhibition constitute a discrete personality type. Also examined was whether there are sex differences in stability of inhibition. These questions were addressed using mothers' ratings over 16 yrs and psychologists' ratings over 6 yrs of a longitudinal sample. Ss were 212 children (122 boys and 90 girls). From the mean of mothers' 18- and 24-mo ratings and the mean of psychologists' 18- and 24-mo ratings, later ratings through 16 yrs were predicted. Analyses were performed for children constituting the extreme 10-15% from each end of the distribution and then for children not rated as extreme. Ratings were more stable for children in the extreme groups than for those in the nonextreme groups through 6 yrs; however, only for the inhibited girls did early inhibition predict inhibition into adolescence.

- The relationship of various personality and behavior describing characteristics of the mother in earliest childhood (ages 1–3) and in later childhood (ages 6–8) to the child's registered criminality up to the age of 30 was investigated for a sample of 122 males. Maternal attributes were rated by psychologists and nurses. Canonical correlations, measuring the relationship between the set of maternal attributes in young age of the child and the future registered criminality of the subjects, were in the magnitudes of .40 to .50. Both in early and in later childhood, mother's mood and her perceived maturity were attributes that, controlled for socioeconomic status of the home and mother's age, were significantly related to the child's future criminal behavior. In addition, mother's affective attitude in later childhood was significantly related to registered crime among the subjects. The change in prognostic power of maternal attributes from early to later childhood was discussed.
