At the crux of the issue surrounding the contribution of nature to development is the study that Jerome Kagan and his colleagues have been conducting for more than two decades. In The Long Shadow of Temperament, Kagan and Nancy Snidman summarize the results of this unique inquiry into human temperaments, one of the best-known longitudinal studies in developmental psychology. These results reveal how deeply certain fundamental temperamental biases can be preserved over development.Identifying two extreme temperamental types?inhibited and uninhibited in childhood, and high-reactive and low-reactive in very young babies?Kagan and his colleagues returned to these children as adolescents. Surprisingly, one of the temperaments revealed in infancy predicted a cautious, fearful personality in early childhood and a dour mood in adolescence. The other bias predicted a bold childhood personality and an exuberant, sanguine mood in adolescence. These personalities were matched by different biological properties. In a masterly summary of their wide-ranging exploration, Kagan and Snidman conclude that these two temperaments are the result of inherited biologies probably rooted in the differential excitability of particular brain structures. Though the authors appreciate that temperamental tendencies can be modified by experience, this compelling work?an empirical and conceptual tour-de-force?shows how long the shadow of temperament is cast over psychological development. 606 $aTemperament in children$vLongitudinal studies 606 $aInhibition in children$vLongitudinal studies 606 $aTemperament$vLongitudinal studies 606 $aInhibition$vLongitudinal studies 606 $aNature and nurture$vLongitudinal studies 615 0$aTemperament in children 615 0$aInhibition in children 615 0$aTemperament 615 0$aInhibition 615 0$aNature and nurture 676 $a155.4/1826 686 $aCQ 5000$2rvk 700 $aKagan$b Jerome$0161263 701 $aSnidman$b Nancy C$01708441 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820224703321 996 $aThe long shadow of temperament$94097436 997 $aUNINA
