Abstract
Behavioral Inhibition is a syndrome that is characterized by shyness, and withdrawal from
an unfamiliar person or situation. It has behavioral and physiological components that can
be identified in 21 month old children and remain fairly stable until 7 1/2 years of age.
Many of the characteristics inhibited children display resemble those of anxiety. Current
research suggests a possible relationship between behavioral inhibition and anxiety
disorders. Although there is evidence to support this, the nature of this relationship has
not been determined.
