这项研究描述了一个广泛使用的父母报告的婴儿气质，婴儿行为问卷（IBQ; Rothbart，1981）的修订。一个合理的衍生工具的开发，包括九个新的规模和小的修改，七个规模的IBQ。360名婴儿的父母平均分布在三个年龄组：3-6个月、6-9个月和9-12个月。概念和项目分析为16个拟议比额表中的14个提供了支持，表明内部一致性令人满意。评价者间的可靠性进行了评估，有证据表明，中度协议之间的主要和次要照顾者。通过检查婴儿行为量表修订版（IBQ-R）量表评分之间的相关性，证明了单方法判别效度。因素分析的结果与三个主要维度的冲动/外向性，负情感，定向/调节是一致的。许多IBQ-R量表还注意到发育和性别差异。具体来说，年龄较大的婴儿在接近、声音反应、高强度快乐、活动、感知敏感性、对限制的痛苦和恐惧方面得分较高，而年龄较小的婴儿在低强度快乐、拥抱/亲密和定向持续时间方面得分较高。男婴在活动和高强度快乐上得分较高，女婴在恐惧量表上得分较高。(C)2002年爱思唯尔科技有限公司All rights reserved.
This study describes a revision of a widely used parent-report measure of infant temperament, the Infant Behavior Questionnaire (IBQ; Rothbart, 1981). A rationally derived instrument was developed that included nine new scales and minor modifications of the seven scales of the IBQ. Parents of 360 infants, equally distributed over three age groups: 3-6 months; 6-9 months; and 9-12 months of age, participated. Conceptual and item analyses provided support for 14 of the 16 proposed scales, demonstrating satisfactory internal consistency. Inter-rater reliability was evaluated, with evidence of moderate agreement between primary and secondary caregivers. Monomethod discriminant validity was demonstrated through an examination of correlations among the Infant Behavior Questionnaire-Revised (IBQ-R) scale scores. Results of the factor analytic procedure were consistent with three broad dimensions of Surgency/Extraversion, Negative Affectivity, and Orienting/Regulation. Developmental and gender differences were also noted for a number of the IBQ-R scales. Specifically, older infants received higher scores on Approach, Vocal Reactivity, High Intensity Pleasure, Activity, Perceptual Sensitivity, Distress to Limitations, and Fear, whereas younger infants' scores were higher for Low Intensity Pleasure, Cuddliness/Affiliation, and Duration of Orienting. Male infants obtained higher scores on Activity and High Intensity Pleasure, and female infants were rated higher on the Fear scale. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
