Hassan, Raha; Willoughby, Teena; Schmidt, Louis A. – Developmental Psychology, 2021
The reactivity-regulation model suggests that the origins and maintenance of shyness results from relatively high levels of reactivity in combination with relatively low levels of regulation. Although this model has received some empirical support, there are still issues regarding directionality of the relations among variables and a dearth of…

Newson, John; And Others – Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry and Allied Disciplines, 1982
Examines whether relationships can be demonstrated between specific infantile comfort habits and later personality development. Results suggest that children with a persistent oral habit at age 4 may later (at age 11 and 16) be less emotionally "well-adjusted" and more difficult for their parents to influence and control.

Deal, James E.; Halverson, Charles F., Jr.; Havill, Valerie; Martin, Roy P. – Merrill-Palmer Quarterly: Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2005
While there is a general consensus that temperament forms the enduring, biologically based foundation of personality and that this biological basis should imply some continuity within the individual across time, there is a limited literature exploring linkages between these areas. The purpose of this article was to provide an initial assessment of…
