本研究旨在评估三种方法对婴儿出生后第一个月的气质描述的潜在趋同性，并确定早期气质的哪些方面对母亲最有意义。采用Brazelton新生儿行为评估量表（NBAS）对48例新生儿进行测试。2周后，母亲们填写Rothbart婴儿行为问卷（IBQ）。2周后，根据Thomas， Chess， and Birch纽约纵向研究（NYLS）临床指南对母亲进行访谈，同时再次对婴儿进行NBAS。在这三种工具之间建立了一些显著和/或边际显著的相关性，这表明婴儿行为的早期测量可能隐含或明确地反映了与气质结构相关的功能方面。研究结果表明，应该更加重视产后最初几个月的气质研究，开发更多适合年龄的评估方法，在这类研究中同时使用多种测量方法，并继续将母亲纳入婴儿行为的可信观察者行列。
This study was designed to assess the potential convergence of 3 approaches to the description of temperament in the first month of life and to identify which aspects of early temperament are most meaningful to mothers. 48 newborns were tested with the Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale (NBAS). 2 weeks later, mothers responded to the Rothbart Infant Behavior Questionnaire (IBQ). 2 weeks thereafter, mothers were interviewed in accordance with the Thomas, Chess, and Birch New York Longitudinal Study (NYLS) clinical guidelines while the NBAS was again administered to their infants. A number of significant and/or marginally significant correlations were established among the 3 instruments, suggesting that early measures of infant behavior may implicitly or explicitly reflect aspects of functioning associated with the construct of temperament. The findings argue for an increased emphasis on temperament research in the first postpartum months, for the development of more age-appropriate assessments, for the simultaneous use of multiple measures in such research, and for the continued inclusion of mothers as credible observers of infant behavior.
