本文回顾了儿童行为问卷（CBQ）信度和效度的证据，并提供了有关儿童气质结构的CBQ数据。CBQ是一项照顾者报告措施，旨在提供3至7岁儿童气质的详细评估。个体差异评估了15个主要气质特征：积极预期，微笑/大笑，高强度快乐，活动水平，冲动，害羞，不适，恐惧，愤怒/沮丧，悲伤，安抚，抑制控制，注意力集中，低强度快乐和感知灵敏度。CBQ量表的因素分析可靠地恢复了三个因素的解决方案，表明三个广泛的气质维度：外向性/冲动，消极情感，努力控制。这三个因素的解决方案似乎也可靠地恢复在其他文化中的儿童评级（例如，中国和日本）。收敛效度的证据来自于气质和社会化相关特征之间假设关系的确认。此外，家长对CBQ评级的同意程度也很高。CBQ量表表现出足够的内部一致性，可用于需要高度分化但综合测量该年龄段儿童气质的研究。
This article reviews evidence on the reliability and validity of the Children's Behavior Questionnaire (CBQ), and presents CBQ data on the structure of temperament in childhood. The CBQ is a caregiver report measure designed to provide a detailed assessment of temperament in children 3 to 7 years of age. Individual differences are assessed on 15 primary temperament characteristics: Positive Anticipation, Smiling/ Laughter, High Intensity Pleasure, Activity Level, Impulsivity, Shyness, Discomfort, Fear, Anger/Frustration, Sadness, Soothability, Inhibitory Control, Attentional Focusing, Low Intensity Pleasure, and Perceptual Sensitivity. Factor analyses of CBQ scales reliably recover a three-factor solution indicating three broad dimensions of temperament: Extraversion /Surgency, Negative Affectivity, and Effortful Control. This three-factor solution also appears to be reliably recovered in ratings of children in other cultures (e.g., China and Japan). Evidence for convergent validity derives from confirmation of hypothesized relations between temperament and socialization-relevant traits. In addition, parental agreement on CBQ ratings is substantial. The CBQ scales demonstrate adequate internal consistency, and may be used in studies requiring a highly differentiated yet integrated measure of temperament for children in this age range.
