The Temperament of Down's Syndrome Infants: A Research Note.

And Others; Gunn, P.

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry and Allied Disciplines, v22 n2 p189-94 Apr 1981

Mothers of 25 Down's syndrome infants completed a questionnaire in order to identify the infants' temperamental characteristics. Only two infants were found to be easy children--a finding which contrasts with the amiable,mild stereotype for the syndrome. Mothers' verbal ratings of the child were more positive than their questionnaire responses regarding temperament. (Author/DB)
