    Infant temperament, including adaptability, significantly impacts school adjustment. This study highlights temperament

    Area of Science:

    • Child Psychology
    • Developmental Psychology
    • Pediatric Health

    Background:

    • Infant temperament is categorized into profiles like "difficult," "intermediate," and "easy."
    • Temperament may influence later childhood behavioral and academic outcomes.
    • Previous research suggests a link between early temperament and later adjustment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between infant temperament profiles and later impulsivity and school adjustment.
    • To examine the correlation between contemporaneous temperament measures and school adjustment.
    • To validate the use of a clinical instrument for assessing temperament in pediatric populations.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of 51 randomly selected children was assessed for temperament profiles.

  • Temperament was evaluated using the Behavioral Style Questionnaire administered to mothers.
  • School adjustment was assessed through teacher judgments and correlated with temperament data.

    • Main Results:

    • Infant temperament profiles showed a nonlinear correlation with impulsivity and school adjustment at ages 5 1/2 to 7 years, with uncertain significance.
    • A significant correlation was found between the adaptability subscale of the Behavioral Style Questionnaire and teacher judgments of school adjustment.
    • The findings suggest that maternal reports of temperament, specifically adaptability, are predictive of school adjustment.

    Conclusions:

    • Temperament, particularly adaptability, is a significant factor in children's school adjustment.
    • The Behavioral Style Questionnaire is a viable clinical instrument for measuring temperament relevant to pediatric outcomes.
    • Early temperament assessment can inform interventions to support school readiness and adjustment.
