Abstract: The present study examined the behavioral inhibition of the children from two to seven-years-old by lab videotape,and assessed the children's school adjustment by teacher report,as well as their problem behavior by CBCL when these children were seven-years-old.Analysis of Moment Structures(AMOS) indicated that the more inhibited the two-year-old children were,the less learning problem they had when they were seven-years-old; the inhibition of the four-year-old children predicted the seven-year-old children.aggressive behavior,frustration tolerance,task orientation ability,and depression,that is,the more inhibited these children were when they were four years old,the stronger frustration tolerance ability and task orientation ability,as well as more depression problem they had when they were seven-years-old.Moreover,the more inhibited the girls were when they were seven-years-old,the worse task orientation ability and assertive social skill the girls had,while more inhibited the boys were when they were two years old,the better task orientation ability,but more inhibited the boys were when they were seven-years-old,more aggressive behavior they had.
