Response Inhibition and Deviant Social Behaviour in Children

GORDON R. LOWE M.A.1

1 Senior Clinical Psychologist, Department of Clinical Psychology, Royal Dundee Liff Hospital, Dundee

The main findings of this study were that (a) The greater a child's inability to withhold inappropriate response, the more his psychosocial behaviour is regarded as maladjusted. (b) Children whose response inhibition is impaired tend to have fairly specific personality characteristics, viz. indifference to adult approval, lability of affect, attention-demanding and distractible behaviour, and defiant, aggressively outgoing behaviour. (c) Response inhibition varied significantly with age, and with the type and rate of stimulation.

The implications of these findings were discussed and considered in relation to previous studies.
