Longitudinal Observation of Infant Temperament
Rothbart, Mary Klevjord
Developmental Psychology, v22 n3 p356-65 May 1986
Convergent validity, temporal stability, and age-related patterning of measures of infant temperament were examined in a longitudinal study of 46 infants at three, six, and nine months of age. Infant Behavior Questionnaire and home observations showed convergent validity. Composite measures of positive and negative reactivity and overall reactivity showed significant convergence at nearly all ages. (Author/RH)
