本研究探讨了经济困难家庭儿童的气质和动机的个体差异与注意力技能的关系。共有73对母子参与了这项研究。孩子们的年龄在3岁到5岁之间，都参加了一个“先声夺人”项目。使用多层次回归分析，支持的假设，努力控制（气质的一个方面）和动机将单独和集体与注意力技能。目前的研究支持的重要性，理解注意力作为一个多方面的概念（波斯纳和彼得森，1990年），涉及认知，社会情绪和动机系统。应用系统的方法，在贫困儿童的入学准备问题的效用进行了讨论。
The current study examined how individual differences in children's temperament and motivation relate to attention skills in children from economically disadvantaged families. A total of 73 mother-child dyads participated in this study. Children were between the ages of 3 and 5, and all attended a Head Start program. Using multiple hierarchical regression analyses, the hypotheses that effortful control (an aspect of temperament) and motivation would individually and collectively relate to attention skills were supported. The current study supports the importance of understanding attention as a multifaceted concept (Posner & Petersen, 1990) that relates to cognitive, socioemotional, and motivational systems. The utility of applying a systems approach to school readiness issues in children of poverty is discussed.
