The Study of Early Temperament: Measurement and Conceptual Issues.

Hubert, Nancy C.; And Others

Child Development, v53 n3 p571-600 Jun 1982

Reviews 26 instruments developed to assess temperament at the infant, preschool, and school-age levels, giving particular attention to instrument content, standardization samples, reliability, and validity. It is concluded that, at present, no single psychometrically adequate instrument is available. Suggestions are made for future approaches to instrument development in this area. (Author/RH)
