Abstract

To examine the effects of demographic variables on temperament and to establish the norms of Korean version of Parental Temperament Questionnaire for Children (K-PTQ).
METHODS
The subjects were consisted of 1,168 preschool children who were attending nurseries nationwide in Korea. K-PTQ was completed by the parents of these children and the data were analyzed according to the demographic variables such as age, sex, birth order and residing area.
RESULTS
There were significant differences in K-PTQ scores according to sex and age. The result of factor analysis shows that the K-PTQ has a three-factor structure, representing 'Approach/Withdrawal and Adaptability', 'Intensity of Reaction and Distractibility', and 'Activity and Persistence'. This factor structure coincides with Thomas and Chess's three-factor model.
CONCLUSION
