The collection of relatively enduring patterns of reacting to, and interacting with, others and the environment that distinguishes each child and adult. Due to interaction of nature and nurture. Referred to only in the infant literature. Individual differences in emotional, motor, and attentional reactivity and self-regulation that children consistently display in all kinds of settings and situations (1998) May represent the basic pattern of personality. Setting up for a more complex adult personality. Chess and thomas (1984) 3 dimension scale. Seems like a very subjective categorization but reflects upon the thoughts of parents. Difficulties with change in routine and establishing a routine. May take longer to establish a routine or adjusting to changes but will eventually adjust. Children who are more active or more flaccid. Children more inclined to make new friends. Variations in terms of how behaviourally inhibited we are across situations. Low behavioural inhibition: more inclined to try new things, engage in new experiences, meet new people.
