Utilizing the revised Infant Temperament Questionnaire previously validated for use with Australian populations, a cohort of 2443 infants aged 4-8 months was studied. This sample was recruited in such a manner as to be representative of all infants of this age group in the State of Victoria. Temperament values obtained differed significantly from American norms on four of the nine temperament dimensions, providing further evidence for the importance of using culturally appropriate norms. There were associations between temperament and problem behaviours and some parent characteristics. The normative values for temperament presented are recommended for use in Australian settings.
利用先前已在澳大利亚人群中验证过的修订版婴儿气质问卷，对2443名4至8个月大的婴儿进行了队列研究。该样本的招募方式能够代表维多利亚州这个年龄组的所有婴儿。在九个气质维度中的四个维度上，所获得的气质值与美国标准有显著差异，这进一步证明了使用文化适宜标准的重要性。气质与问题行为以及一些家长特征之间存在关联。所呈现的气质规范值推荐用于澳大利亚的相关环境。
