Temperament and Craniofacial Variation in the First Two Years.
Arcus, Doreen; Kagan, Jerome
Child Development, v66 n5 p1529-40 Oct 1995
Examined the relationship between temperament and craniofacial variation in 372 infants observed at ages 4, 14, and 21 months. Found that high-reactive 4-month olds, who are predisposed to becoming timid, inhibited toddlers, had smaller bizygomatic ratios (narrower faces) at both 14 and 21 months compared to their low-reactive peers.
