A convenience sample of 240 infants aged 4-8 months was studied to evaluate the suitability of a revised version of Carey's Infant Temperament Questionnaire (ITQ) for an Australian population. Data analyses indicated all item/dimension correlations significant at P less than 0.01 or better, satisfactory internal consistency of the instrument as measured by alpha coefficients, and test retest reliability of 0.79. Infants rated as having a 'difficult' temperament were significantly more likely to be reported as having problem behaviours. Significant differences were found between Australian and American infants on three of the nine temperament dimensions - rhythmicity, activity and intensity. The results of this study indicate that this revised ITQ is suitable for use with Australian infants.
对240名4至8个月大的婴儿进行了便利抽样研究，以评估修订版的凯里婴儿气质问卷（ITQ）对澳大利亚人群的适用性。数据分析表明，所有项目/维度的相关性在P小于0.01或更佳水平时显著，该工具通过阿尔法系数测量的内部一致性令人满意，重测信度为0.79。被评定为具有“困难”气质的婴儿被报告有问题行为的可能性显著更高。在九个气质维度中的三个维度——节律性、活动度和强度上，澳大利亚婴儿和美国婴儿之间存在显著差异。这项研究的结果表明，这个修订版的ITQ适用于澳大利亚婴儿。
