    New parental questionnaires reliably measure infant temperament across multiple ages. While temperament types were stable, individual scores showed moderate change over time, impacting clinical research applications.

    Area of Science:

    • Child Psychology
    • Developmental Psychology
    • Behavioral Science

    Background:

    • Temperament is a crucial aspect of child development.
    • Previous methods for assessing infant temperament had limitations.
    • The New York Longitudinal Study established key temperament variables.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate parental questionnaires for measuring infant temperament.
    • To assess the reliability and validity of these new instruments.
    • To examine temperament characteristics in a large, longitudinal sample.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of parental questionnaires for nine temperament variables.
    • Longitudinal study of children at 6, 12, and 24 months.
    • Retest reliability analysis and factor analysis of temperament data.

    Main Results:

    • Questionnaires demonstrated generally satisfactory retest reliability.
    • Temperament showed little relation to gender, birth order, or social class.
    • Two stable temperament patterns emerged at 12 and 24 months; score stability was low to moderate.

    Conclusions:

    • Parental questionnaires are a reliable tool for assessing infant temperament.
    • Infant temperament types are relatively stable, but individual scores can change.
    • Findings support the use of these questionnaires in clinical research.
