Continuity of father-rated temperament in Finnish children (n=115) aged from 6 months (the IBQ) to 5.5 years (the CBQ) was explored within the theoretical framework developed by Rothbart. Father-rated activity level, smiling and laughter and distress to limitations showed significant differential homotypic and heterotypic continuity, while soothability, duration of orienting and fear showed significant differential heterotypic continuity. On the level of latent superconstructs, father-rated positive and negative infant affectivity accounted for 5.1, 22.7 and 10.0% of the variance in childhood extraversion, effortful control and negative affectivity, respectively. Inter-parental comparisons (n=109 family units) revealed that father-rated continuity was similar to mother-rated continuity. These findings give empirical credence to Rothbart's theory and to father-rated temperamental continuity from infancy onwards.
在罗斯巴特提出的理论框架内,对115名芬兰儿童(年龄从6个月时使用婴儿行为问卷[IBQ]到5.5岁时使用儿童行为问卷[CBQ])父亲评定的气质连续性进行了探究。父亲评定的活动水平、微笑与大笑以及对限制的苦恼表现出显著的同型和异型差异连续性,而安抚性、定向持续时间和恐惧则表现出显著的异型差异连续性。在潜在的超结构水平上,父亲评定的婴儿积极和消极情感分别占儿童外向性、努力控制和消极情感变异的5.1%、22.7%和10.0%。父母间比较(109个家庭单位)显示,父亲评定的连续性与母亲评定的连续性相似。这些发现为罗斯巴特的理论以及从婴儿期开始的父亲评定气质连续性提供了实证依据。
