To examine the relationship between perceptions of vulnerability, temperament, and children's risk taking behavior in a simulated home environment.
Children and their primary caregivers were interviewed regarding temperament and perceptions of vulnerability to injury. In addition, children's interactions with simulated hazards were observed in an environment representing a typical home.
Children whose caregivers reported higher levels of activity were significantly more likely to report lower perceptions of vulnerability to injury and show increased risky behavior. After controlling for gender differences, children's risky behaviors were predicted from child-based perceptions of vulnerability.
Perceptions of vulnerability and active temperaments represent significant risk factors for potential injuries in the home. Modifying perceptions of vulnerability as well as identifying at-risk temperaments for injuries is important to consider when developing effective interventions.
研究在模拟家庭环境中，对易受伤害性的认知、气质与儿童冒险行为之间的关系。
就气质和对受伤易感性的认知对儿童及其主要照料者进行访谈。此外，在一个代表典型家庭的环境中观察儿童与模拟危险物的互动。
照料者报告孩子活动水平较高的儿童，显著更有可能报告较低的受伤易感性认知，并表现出更多的冒险行为。在控制了性别差异后，基于儿童自身对易受伤害性的认知可以预测其冒险行为。
对易受伤害性的认知和活跃的气质是家庭中潜在伤害的重要风险因素。在制定有效干预措施时，改变对易受伤害性的认知以及识别有受伤风险的气质类型很重要。
