OBS

Le contrôle progressif des émotions dépend de facteurs biologiques, la maturation du système nerveux, et de facteurs psychologiques, le développement d'inhibitions. [...] L'aptitude à acquérir se contrôle est en partie constitutionnelle. [...] certains sujets présenteront plus facilement que d'autres en face d'un même stimulus des réactions émotionnelles violentes. On dit que ces sujets ont une «constitution émotive» qui paraît transmise héréditairement. (Abrégé de psychologie, Delay, J. et P. Pichot, Masson, Paris, 1971, p. 141).
