          Abstract

          International research has increasingly considered temperament as a relevant personal variable in child developmental pathways. The purpose of the present study was to describe the methodology for translation to Portuguese (Brazil) of three child temperament assessment instruments based on Rothbart’s theoretical approach. An original translation was modified, based on feedback by two professional translators, three bilingual psychologists, and a sample of 15 Brazilian mothers. A backtranslation by a professional translator was then assessed by the authors of the original (English language) instruments. For the final version of the measure, authors of the original instrument judged that 100% of items were consistent with the original items, and a second sample of 15 Brazilian mothers identified no problems with the Portuguese items.

          A pesquisa internacional tem crescentemente considerado o temperamento como uma variável pessoal relevante na trajetória de desenvolvimento da criança. O objetivo do presente estudo foi descrever a metodologia de tradução para a Língua Portuguesa (Brasil) de três instrumentos de avaliação do temperamento baseados na abordagem teórica de Rothbart. A tradução inicial foi modificada com base na avaliação de dois tradutores profissionais, três psicólogos bilíngües e uma amostra de 15 mães brasileiras. A retro-tradução realizada por um terceiro tradutor profissional foi avaliada pelos autores dos instrumentos originais. Para a versão final, os autores dos instrumentos originais julgaram que 100% dos itens eram consistentes com os itens originais e uma segunda amostra de 15 mães brasileiras não identificou problemas em compreender os itens dos instrumentos na Língua Portuguesa.

          Measurement of fine-grained aspects of toddler temperament: the early childhood behavior questionnaire.

          This article describes the development, reliability, and factor structure of a finely differentiated (18 dimensions) parent-report measure of temperament in 1.5- to 3-year-old children, using a cross-sectional sample (N=317) and a longitudinal sample of primary (N=104) and secondary (N=61) caregivers. Adequate internal consistency was demonstrated for all scales and moderate inter-rater reliability was evident for most scales. Longitudinal stability correlations were primarily large over 6- and 12-month spans and moderate to large from 18 to 36 months. Factor analysis revealed a three-factor structure of Surgency/Extraversion, Negative Affectivity, and Effortful Control. In both samples and for both primary and secondary caregivers, older children received higher scores for Attention Focusing, Discomfort, Inhibitory Control, and Positive Anticipation. Primary caregivers rated females higher in Fear, and lower in High-intensity Pleasure, than males; secondary caregivers rated females higher than males in several aspects of Effortful Control.
