Behavioral Inhibition is a temperament characterized by a tendency to be shy, cautious, and reserved in unfamiliar situations. Individuals with this trait often experience anxiety or discomfort when faced with new people, places, or experiences. This can lead to avoidance behaviors, making it challenging for them to engage socially or explore new environments. Research suggests that Behavioral Inhibition may have a genetic component and can be observed in early childhood. Children who exhibit this temperament may benefit from supportive parenting strategies that encourage gradual exposure to new experiences, helping them build confidence and reduce anxiety over time.
