The assessment of temperament is usually measured by means of parental questionnaires. Since temperament questionnaires in children aged 8-12 years do not exist in Italy we planned a study to develop an Italian questionnaire. Initially we tried to adapt Hegvik et al.'s questionnaire and delivered 389 questionnaires to the mothers of children aged 8-12 years, but most of them were given back uncompleted, essentially because they often described behavior not usually observed in Italian children. Then we prepared a new, short (30 items) questionnaire which we distributed to 431 mothers of children aged 8-12 years. This new questionnaire was completed by 98.76% of mothers and a high three week rating-re-rating reliability for the different temperamental characteristics under assessment was proved. We believe that this new questionnaire is reliable for temperament assessment in Italian children aged 8 to 12 years, living in a big city environment in Central Italy.
气质评估通常通过家长问卷来进行。由于意大利不存在针对8至12岁儿童的气质问卷，我们计划开展一项研究来编制一份意大利语问卷。起初，我们试图改编赫格维克等人的问卷，并向8至12岁儿童的母亲发放了389份问卷，但大多数问卷被退回时未完成，主要原因是问卷中描述的行为在意大利儿童中并不常见。然后，我们编制了一份新的简短问卷（30个项目），并分发给431名8至12岁儿童的母亲。98.76%的母亲完成了这份新问卷，并且证明了所评估的不同气质特征具有较高的为期三周的评分-再评分信度。我们认为，这份新问卷对于居住在意大利中部大城市环境中的8至12岁意大利儿童的气质评估是可靠的。
