Using data obtained during an epidemiological survey of the total population of three-year-old children on the island of Martha's Vineyard, an investigation was made of the relationship of temperament characteristics and social factors to behavior adjustment in 90 children. The analyses show that according to mothers' reports, inflexibility, a temperament characteristic of the child, negative parent-child interaction and high family stress are most highly associated with poor behavior adjustment. A path analysis suggested the hypothesis that flexibility of the child and positive parent-child interaction curtail the overall adverse effect of high family stress on behavioral adjustment in children.
利用在马萨诸塞州玛莎葡萄园岛对三岁儿童总人口进行的流行病学调查中获得的数据，对90名儿童的气质特征和社会因素与行为调适之间的关系进行了调查。分析表明，根据母亲的报告，儿童的气质特征——不灵活性、消极的亲子互动和高家庭压力与不良行为调适的关联最为紧密。路径分析提出了这样一个假设，即儿童的灵活性和积极的亲子互动可以减少高家庭压力对儿童行为调适的总体不利影响。
