Several authors have highlighted associations with temperament as promising avenues for understanding vulnerability to psychopathology (e.g., Muris and Ollendick, Clinical Child and Family Psychology Review, 8, 271-289, 2005; Nigg, Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, and Allied Disciplines, 47, 395-422, 2006). The successful integration of models of temperament and models of psychopathology will undoubtedly increase our understanding of both. The current special section intends to present important new ideas and evidence in this field and tries to formulate answers to a couple of emerging questions. To set the stage for the papers, we provide a brief state of the art of research on temperament-psychopathology associations. After that, we discuss emerging questions in the field, some of which are addressed in the papers of this special section. To conclude, we point out a couple of future research perspectives.
几位作者强调了气质关联作为理解精神病理学易感性的有前景的途径（例如，穆里斯和奥伦迪克，《临床儿童与家庭心理学评论》，第8卷，第271 - 289页，2005年；尼格，《儿童心理学与精神病学及相关学科杂志》，第47卷，第395 - 422页，2006年）。气质模型与精神病理学模型的成功整合无疑将增进我们对二者的理解。本期特刊旨在呈现该领域重要的新观点和证据，并尝试对一些新出现的问题给出答案。为论文做好铺垫，我们简要介绍一下气质与精神病理学关联研究的现状。之后，我们讨论该领域新出现的问题，其中一些问题在本期特刊的论文中有所涉及。最后，我们指出一些未来的研究方向。
