Parents' responses to the Carey Infant Temperament Questionnaire and results of a standard interview regarding sleep duration were obtained for 23 Chinese-American and 60 non-Chinese infants. Chinese-American infants were rated as significantly more withdrawing, less adaptable, and more negative in mood than the other infants. Total sleep duration for the Chinese-American infants was 13.2 hours, compared to 14.2 hours for the other infants (p less than .05). Night sleep duration had a significant negative correlation with mood ratings in the Chinese-American babies. These findings suggest that there are ethnic differences in infant temperament and that the relationship between negative mood and brief sleep is present among different ethnic groups.
我们获取了23名华裔美国婴儿和60名非华裔婴儿的父母对凯里婴儿气质问卷的回答，以及关于睡眠时间的标准访谈结果。与其他婴儿相比，华裔美国婴儿在退缩、适应能力差和情绪更消极方面的得分显著更高。华裔美国婴儿的总睡眠时间为13.2小时，而其他婴儿为14.2小时（p小于0.05）。华裔美国婴儿的夜间睡眠时间与情绪评分呈显著负相关。这些发现表明，婴儿气质存在种族差异，并且消极情绪与短睡眠之间的关系在不同种族群体中都存在。
