The Structure of Temperamental Fear and Pleasure in Infants: A Psychometric Perspective.

Goldsmith, H. Hill; Campos, Joseph J.

Child Development, v61 n6 p1944-64 Dec 1990

Temperament of nine-month olds was assessed by means of questionnaires and two laboratory visits. Mothers' and fathers' agreement on questionnaire scales was low, and their factor structures differed. In laboratory measures, fearfulness and pleasure showed cross-situation generality, short-term stability, and convergence with questionnaire scales. (BC)
