Abstract

Abstract:The aim of this study was twofold: (a) to assess the psychometric properties of the Revised Early Adolescent Temperament Questionnaire (EATQ-R) and the Revised Adult Temperament Questionnaire (ATQ-R) among 685 Finnish early adolescents and their parents and (b) to investigate the extent to which adolescents and their parents share similar temperaments. Temperaments of early adolescents (mean age = 12.23 years) were rated by the adolescents themselves and their parents. The parents also rated their own temperaments. With minor modifications to the theoretical models, the results supported the factorial validity and reliability of the EATQ-R and the ATQ-R among Finnish adolescents and their parents. Correlations between parents' and adolescents' ratings of adolescent temperament were moderately strong, supporting convergent validity. The results lent weak support to rater-independent similarity of temperament (especially on the effortful control dimension) between parents and their adolescents.

评估芬兰早期青少年及其父母的气质:气质问卷简短形式的心理测量特性

摘要：本研究的目的有两个：（a）在685名芬兰早期青少年及其父母中评估修订的早期青少年气质问卷（EATQ-R）和修订的成人气质问卷（ATQ-R）的心理测量特性；（b）调查青少年及其父母在多大程度上有相似的气质。早期青少年（平均年龄=12.23岁）的气质由青少年自己和他们的父母评定。父母还评定了自己的脾气。对理论模型稍作修改后，结果支持了EATQ-R和ATQ-R在芬兰青少年及其父母中的析因有效性和可靠性。父母和青少年对青少年气质的评分之间的相关性中等，支持收敛有效性。这一结果对父母和青少年之间的气质相似性（尤其是在努力控制维度上）的评分者独立性提供了微弱的支持。
