The present study examined relations between ratings of children's personalities using the Five-Factor Model (FFM) of personality and behaviors exhibited by children during an interaction with their parents. Ninety-four children (M age = 10.87 years) and their parents participated in a videotaped interaction; children were coded on 64 different social behaviors using a revised version of the Riverside Behavioral Q-Sort. Mothers completed ratings of their children's personalities using the NEO-Five-Factor Personality Inventory (NEO-FFI). Results indicate an intuitive and predictable pattern of relations between children's personalities and their behaviors. Findings suggest that four of the five factors included in the FFM provide an appropriate framework for describing children's personalities. These findings are discussed in terms of their relevance for helping researchers understand children's personalities.
本研究考察了使用人格五因素模型（FFM）对儿童人格的评分与儿童在与父母互动过程中表现出的行为之间的关系。94名儿童（平均年龄 = 10.87岁）及其父母参与了一次录像互动；使用修订版的河滨行为Q分类法对儿童的64种不同社会行为进行了编码。母亲们使用NEO五因素人格量表（NEO-FFI）对孩子的人格进行了评分。结果表明，儿童的人格与其行为之间存在直观且可预测的关系模式。研究结果表明，FFM中包含的五个因素中的四个为描述儿童人格提供了一个合适的框架。将根据这些发现对帮助研究人员理解儿童人格的相关性进行讨论。
