ABSTRACT
The past decade has seen rapid development of the study of temperament. Although temperament is defined somewhat differently from one theoretical position to another (for a discussion of these positions, see Goldsmith et al., 1987), the temperament domain at its most inclusive can be seen to contain individual differences in emotionality, activity, and attention (Rothbart, 1989). As interest in temperament grows, assessment instruments are increasingly sought, both for investigations within the domain of temperament, and for studies relating temperament to variables in other domains such as cognition or personality. The choice of appropriate measures for this work depends on the dimension or dimensions of individual differences the investigator wishes to measure, and on the psychometric properties of the instrument(s) available.
