我们评估了12年来800多名儿童的早期气质和行为问题之间的关系。 气质测量是从行为评级的考官观察儿童在3岁，5岁，7岁和9岁。 因素分析显示，在每个年龄段的3个维度：缺乏控制，方法和迟缓。 3岁和5岁时的气质维度与9岁和11岁时由父母和教师独立评估的行为问题以及13岁和15岁时由父母独立评估的行为问题在理论上一致。 缺乏控制与后来的外化行为问题比与内化问题更密切相关;方法与男孩中较少的内化问题相关;而迟缓与焦虑和注意力不集中相关性较弱，尤其是在女孩中。 缺乏控制和迟钝也与青少年能力的减少有关。 这些结果表明，早期气质可能对以后的精神病理学的发展具有预测特异性。
We assessed relations between early temperament and behavior problems across 12 years in an unselected sample of over 800 children. Temperament measures were drawn from behavior ratings made by examiners who observed children at ages 3, 5, 7, and 9. Factor analyses revealed 3 dimensions at each age: Lack of Control, Approach, and Sluggishness. Temperament dimensions at ages 3 and 5 were correlated in theoretically coherent ways with behavior problems that were independently evaluated by parents and teachers at ages 9 and 11, and by parents at ages 13 and 15. Lack of Control was more strongly associated with later externalizing behavior problems than with internalizing problems; Approach was associated with fewer internalizing problems among boys; and Sluggishness was weakly associated with both anxiety and inattention, especially among girls. Lack of Control and Sluggishness were also associated with fewer adolescent competencies. These results suggest that early temperament may have predictive specificity for the development of later psychopathology.
