Temperament, activity, and expectations for later personality development.

Temperament is assumed to be the biologically based, emotional core of personality. Adult personality is presumed to emerge developmentally from temperament. One mechanism that may link temperament to subsequent personality development involves caregiver expectancies. Stability in personality may be associated with caregiver expectancies about the meaning of temperament-based behavior. The expectancies, in combination with implicit theories of personality development, support stability and patterned change. This multimethod study examined the relations among motor activity differences, temperament, and expectations about future personality characteristics in preschool children. It was hypothesized that motor activity and temperament differences would be linked to teachers' expectations about later personality development. The hypothesis that expectations about such links would be moderated by the sex of the child was also examined. Outcomes generally corroborated hypotheses. Results are discussed in terms of personality development and age-related adaptations to social contexts.

[Correlation between clinical status and psychological variables in juvenile diabetics (author's transl)].

Correlations between clinical status and psychological variables in 56 juvenile diabetics were studied. Intelligence was only partly associated with clinical status. Among personality variables extraversion proved to be correlated with insufficient clinical control. This result is significant, both from a theoretical and from a practical point of view. There were no correlations of parental personality and clinical control.

Psychological distress and bereavement.

Some 115 bereaved subjects (43 spouses, 39 adult children, and 33 parents) were followed-up prospectively over 12 months following the acute bereavement period. They completed the Zung Depression Scale, Spielberger's State and Trait Anxiety Measure, the GHQ-28, and Eysenck's Personality Inventory at four time points. With the exception of EPI-Extroversion, there was a significant decrease in all scores over the period encompassing the study. There were no differences between the three groups on any of the psychological variables measured. Scores on the Zung Depression Scale, state and trait anxiety, and neuroticism correlated significantly with a measure of core bereavement phenomenology, the Core Bereavement Items, at each time point for each group.
