Temperamental characteristics of preschool children were related to relationships, mothers' mood, and children's feelings towards family members. Active scores were correlated with some problem behaviour and with negative aspects of interactions with mother and father. Active children felt themselves to be independent, while Timid children did not. Timid children had relatively more acute illnesses and worries and fears. Difficult scores were correlated with problem behaviour and with negative aspects of all the types of interaction assessed: mother-child, mother-father, father-child, and sibling-child. Furthermore, the more Difficult the child, the more Anxious, Outwardly Irritable, and Inwardly irritable the mother. In turn, Difficult children expressed relatively few positive and dependency feelings towards their mothers, and more negative feelings towards themselves.
学龄前儿童的气质特征与人际关系、母亲的情绪以及孩子对家庭成员的感受有关。活跃得分与一些问题行为以及与父母互动的消极方面相关。活跃的孩子认为自己是独立的，而胆小的孩子则不然。胆小的孩子有相对更多的急性疾病以及担忧和恐惧。困难得分与问题行为以及所有评估的互动类型的消极方面相关：母子、父母、父子和兄弟姐妹。此外，孩子越难相处，母亲就越焦虑、外在易怒和内在易怒。反过来，难相处的孩子对母亲表达的积极和依赖情感相对较少，对自己表达的消极情感较多。
