Dimensions of temperament and behaviour were measured in a group of infant school children with recurrent abdominal pain and in a control group. Children with recurrent abdominal pain were temperamentally more difficult than those without, and in particular, girls were found to have a more irregular temperamental style and boys to be more likely to withdraw in new situations. Temperamental differences were more persistent than the abdominal pain itself. There was little difference behaviourally between the groups. It is hypothesized that abdominal pain represents an interaction between a vulnerable temperamental style and environmental stresses.
对一组患有复发性腹痛的幼儿和一个对照组的气质和行为维度进行了测量。患有复发性腹痛的儿童在气质上比没有腹痛的儿童更难相处，特别是发现女孩的气质类型更不规律，而男孩在新环境中更有可能退缩。气质差异比腹痛本身更持久。两组在行为上几乎没有差异。据推测，腹痛代表了一种易受影响的气质类型与环境压力之间的相互作用。
