Adaptation of the Ages and Stages Questionnaire for Remote Aboriginal Australia
A key challenge to providing quality developmental care in remote Aboriginal primary health care (PHC) centers has been the absence of culturally appropriate developmental screening instruments. This study focused on the cross-cultural adaptation of the Ages and Stages Questionnaires, 3rd edition (ASQ-3), with careful attention to language and culture. We aimed to adapt the ASQ-3 for use with remote dwelling Australian Aboriginal children, and to…
Fathers' involvement and children's developmental outcomes: A systematic review of longitudinal studies
Objective: This systematic review aims to describe longitudinal evidence on the effects of father involvement on children's developmental outcomes. Methods: Father involvement was conceptualized as accessibility (cohabitation), engagement, responsibility or other complex measures of involvement. Both biological fathers and father figures were included. We searched all major databases from the first dates. Data on father involvement had to be gene…

Gender differences in aggression in childhood: Implications for a peaceful world
Seven waves of data on 300 families from a large-scale longitudinal study were analysed to assess gender differences from infancy to 8 years of age. Parental ratings of temperament, behaviour, and development were available at each sampling point. Information from Maternal and Child Health nurses, primary school teachers and psychometric test data were also available. Analyses of each wave of data revealed few gender differences in infancy and th…
Stability of maternally reported temperament from infancy to 8 years
This study explores the stability of temperament, measured by maternal report, from infancy to 8 years in a longitudinal sample of 450 children. Prior questionnaire-based, factor-analytic studies of stability have usually assumed that temperament dimensions show continuity during development and that, where the same temperament factors emerge at multiple measurement occasions, the factors show measurement equivalence. Structural equation modeling…
Temperament in Australian, American, Chinese, and Greek Infants: Some Issues and Directions for Future Research
Ratings of temperament in 4-to 8-month-old infants were compared across four cultural groups (American, Chinese, Australian, and Greek-Australian)using the revised Infant Temperament Questionnaire. Significant differences were found on all dimensions, with American and Australian infants being most alike and Greek and Chinese being very different from these two groups Generally, positive or "easy" temperament profiles characterized American and A…
Infant behavior and maternal adaptations in the first six months of life
This study explored the relationship among infant temperament, maternal concern, and adjustment during early infancy, and the stability of these variables over time. Infants identified as difficult were found to change considerably across three time points (between five weeks and six months), suggesting the need for caution in prognostication with respect to temperament difficulties in infancy. Further implications for the care of young infants a…
