The relationship of temperament to pre- and posthospital behavioral responses of school-age children was examined in this study. Seventy-five children, aged 8 to 12, who experienced unplanned hospitalizations were studied. Data were collected from the children's mothers who served as the primary informants. The mothers completed questionnaires describing their children's temperament and behavior pre- and posthospitalization. Temperament accounted for more than 50% of the variance in the children's behavior prior to hospitalization and at 1 week and at 1 month following discharge. The subjects' usual prehospitalized temperament was significantly more withdrawn than the established norms of the temperament instrument. However, the subjects did not differ from the norms at either 1 week or 1 month following discharge.
本研究考察了气质与学龄儿童住院前后行为反应之间的关系。研究对象为75名8至12岁经历过非计划性住院的儿童。数据收集自作为主要信息提供者的儿童母亲。母亲们完成了描述其孩子住院前后气质和行为的问卷。气质在住院前、出院后1周和1个月时，占儿童行为差异的50%以上。研究对象住院前的通常气质明显比气质量表的既定常模更内向。然而，研究对象在出院后1周或1个月时与常模并无差异。
