Child Development, v72 n5 p1394-1408 Sep-Oct 2001
Reviews evidence on reliability and validity of the Children's Behavior Questionnaire (CBQ); presents CBQ data on structure of temperament in childhood. Factor analyses indicate three broad dimensions of temperament: extroversion/surgency, negative affectivity, and effortful control. This factor structure also appears in ratings of children in other cultures. Evidence is present for convergent validity. CBQ scales demonstrate adequate internal consistency. (Author/KB)
