使用修订后的婴儿气质问卷 (RITQ) 中的标准化标准对早产低出生体重 (LBW) 婴儿的气质特征在 6 个月大时进行评估。研究人员检查了围产期风险、种族和性别对各种气质维度的影响。样本包括 152 名婴儿，平均出生体重为 1687 克，平均孕龄为 31 周。百分之八十的婴儿被归类为具有难以控制的气质。婴儿生物节律不规则、适应变化能力迟缓以及注意力不集中是最严重的问题。出生体重、胎龄和性别与气质无关。围产期发病率与婴儿坚持的气质维度有关，对婴儿的注意力广度和任务表现有影响。与其他族裔群体的婴儿相比，欧美婴儿的情绪表达更持久，但不那么强烈。结果表明，需要更直接地评估神经生物学过程对气质表型发展的影响，并测量适合社会文化的气质。 © 2004 Wiley periodicals, Inc.

Temperament profiles of pre‐term, low birth weight (LBW) infants were assessed at 6 months of age using standardized norms from the Revised Infant Temperament Questionnaire (RITQ). The contributions of perinatal risk, ethnicity, and gender to various temperament dimensions were examined. The sample included 152 infants with a mean birth weight of 1687 g and a mean gestational age of 31 weeks. Eighty percent of the infants were classified as having temperaments that were difficult to manage. Irregularity of the infants' biorhythms, slowness in their ability to adapt to changes, and distractibility were the most problematic. Birth weight, gestational age, and gender were not associated with temperament. Perinatal morbidity was related to the temperament dimension of infant persistence, with implications for the infant's attention span and task performance. Euro American infants were rated as more persistent and less intense in emotional expression than were infants of other ethnic groups. Results suggest the need for a more direct assessment of the effects of neurobiological processes on development of temperament phenotypes and for measurement of temperament that is socioculturally appropriate. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
