幼儿行为评估问卷（TBAQ）的构建是一个迭代的过程中，旨在确保内容的效度，通过重复的项目分析，重点是内部一致性和判别属性，并通过规模修订的项目生成。在本文报告的构建和初始验证过程中，使用了来自1，012条记录的数据。内部一致性可靠性估计通常超过.80每个规模。收敛效度与其他气质问卷和纵向稳定性的证据也得到了。除了产生一个有前途的工具，这种评估研究具有概念上的影响。例如，消极情感的组成部分（愤怒倾向和恐惧）是独立的，项目分析表明害羞和其他恐惧也是独立的。TBAQ气质量表显示了一些关系和/或背景特异性，与大多数目前的观点一致的气质，作为例证的发现，只有温和的父母协议。从12个月大的时候，使用婴儿行为问卷（IBQ），到18个月大的时候，使用TBAQ（特别是当IBQ和TBAQ之间的细微差异被考虑在内），大多数气质维度的排名令人印象深刻的保留。大多数分析都得益于复制。
The Toddler Behavior Assessment Questionnaire (TBAQ) was constructed by an iterative process of item generation intended to ensure content validity, by repeated item analyses focused on internal consistency and discriminant properties, and by scale revision. During the construction and initial validation processes reported in this article, data from 1,012 records were utilized. Internal consistency reliability estimates typically exceeded .80 for each scale. Evidence for convergent validity with other temperament questionnaires and for longitudinal stability was also obtained. Besides yielding a promising instrument, this assessment research has conceptual ramifications. For instance, components of negative affectivity (anger proneness and fearfulness) were independent, and item analyses suggested that shyness and other fears were independent as well. Consistent with most current views of temperament, the TBAQ temperament scales revealed some relationship and/or contextual specificity, as exemplified by the finding of only moderate parental agreement. The rank ordering on most temperament dimensions was impressively preserved from age 12 months, when the Infant Behavior Questionnaire (IBQ) was used, to age 18 months, when the TBAQ was used (especially when subtle differences between the IBQ and TBAQ were taken into account). Most of the analyses benefit from replication.
