d) Personality variables: Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI).
Zero-order correlations among contextual variables, infant temperament, maternal sleep, and maternal depressive symptoms are presented in Table 2.
Behavioral inhibition has been described as an enduring temperament variable that remains relatively stable from (early) childhood to adolescence and even adulthood [ 10– 16].
Research has shown that the parent child associations may be complicated by third variables (such as temperament and parental self-efficacy) and that these variables may vary as a function of child-age [ 53].
Particular attention has been paid to "temperament" variables, which are considered to have a biological basis.
The results confirm that several temperament variables, characterized by high sensitivity to reward and/or weak response to punishment signals, are closely associated with antisocial behaviour.
In the present study, we examined relationships between self-reported antisocial behaviour and a number of temperament variables (extraversion, neuroticism, psychoticism, impulsivity, sensation seeking) in three subject groups: 435 school-attending male adolescents, 529 school-attending female adolescents, and 95 institutionalized delinquent male adolescents.
When a logistic regression was performed, the only significant predictors of migraine were temperament variables.
Then, according to many studies, personal variables such as temperament and personality seem key factors in the development, maintenance and severity of conduct disorder.
During the causal preparation of DAGs we therefore elected to include the infant temperament variables in the logistic regression.
First, PCS-C scores were related to various personality and temperament variables in a theoretically meaningful way.
