| dcterms.abstract | Despite the continued debate regarding the structure of temperament in young children, it is often assumed that temperament traits demonstrate temporal stability over time. This research has relied predominately on parent-report measures. The present study used an alternative approach, a laboratory-observational measure (Laboratory Temperament Assessment Battery [Lab-TAB]), to examine the structural and relative stability of temperament traits in a community sample of young children (N = 440). Using structural equation modeling (SEM), we derived a similar five-factor structure consisting of the dimensions of Positive Affect/Interest, Sociability, Dysphoria, Fear/Inhibition, and Impulsivity vs. Constraint at both age 3 and 6 years, suggesting good structural stability. In addition, all five latent factors exhibited significant relative stability from age 3 to 6, as well as two significant temporal associations between different latent factors. This represents one of the first studies to use SEM procedures to examine the structural and relative stability in young children based on a laboratory-observational measure. | |
