Interviews mothers about their preschool children's temperamental characteristics, mild behavior problems, and family interactions. There was little evidence for a relationship between active and either mild behavior problems or family interactions. Moody/intense scores were associated with mild behavior problems and 'negative' family interactions for boys and girls. (Author/AS)
