Ratings of temperament for 32 children with Down syndrome and 44 children who were developing normally over the developmental range from 12 to 36 months were compared. Mothers completed the Toddler Temperament Scales and/or the Bates Infant/Child Characteristics Questionnaire at two time points. Analyses tested for diagnostic group differences in temperament ratings. Multivariate repeated measures analyses of variance, with diagnosis and developmental age as grouping variables, were run for both instruments. For the Toddler Temperament Scales, no between-subjects main effects of diagnosis or interactions were significant; however, a significant multivariate main effect for diagnosis was obtained for the Bates Scales. Ordering consistency for the two samples was considered separately. Cross-time correlations were generally significant; however, relations tended to be of greater magnitude in the normally developing group. Results suggest that the development of temperament, as assessed with maternal ratings, follows a common path in these two groups.
对32名唐氏综合征患儿和44名发育正常的儿童在12至36个月的发育范围内的气质评分进行了比较。母亲们在两个时间点完成了幼儿气质量表和/或贝茨婴儿/儿童性格问卷。分析测试了气质评分中的诊断组差异。对这两种工具都进行了以诊断和发育年龄为分组变量的多变量重复测量方差分析。对于幼儿气质量表，诊断的组间主效应或交互作用均不显著；然而，贝茨量表获得了显著的诊断多变量主效应。分别考虑了两个样本的排序一致性。跨时间相关性一般显著；然而，正常发育组的相关性往往更大。结果表明，用母亲评分评估的气质发展在这两组中遵循共同的路径。
