Objective:
To examine the temperament of children with vocal fold nodules.
Method:
To compare the temperament dimension and temperamental types of 42 children with vocal fold nodules with 46 vocally normal children, using Chinese children's Temperament Problem Screening system (CCTPSs).
Result:
The children with vocal fold nodules differed significantly from the comparison group in their temperament dimension's adaptability, intensity of reaction, mood value, persistency and temperamental types.
Conclusion:
There are more difficult and slow-to-warm-up children in patients with vocal fold nodules than vocally normal children.
