Careless Responding May Reduce Data Quality in Self-Report Questionnaire Research: Evidence From Adult Temperament Samples From Two Cultures
With the increasing publication of self-report online studies, concerns are growing about the quality of the data collected through these methods. This study focused on response bias, a major threat to data quality, by analyzing data from a real-world study on adult temperament conducted in two different countries. The sample included 1,497 participants aged 18-80 years from the United States ( n = 598) and Lithuania ( n = 899). The primary objec…
The Chess–Thomas Adult Temperament Questionnaire: Psychometric Properties of the Lithuanian Version
Evidence-based information accumulated over the years has demonstrated the importance of having a culturally embedded temperament assessment instrument. Thus, the aim of this article was to investigate the psychometric properties of a Lithuanian version of the adult temperament scale derived from the Chess–Thomas Adult Temperament Questionnaire. The sample consisted of 654 participants between 13 and 79 years of age (M = 30.9, SD = 11.9). The str…
Maternal drug use and infant temperament
Stability of ratings vs. perceptions of temperament from early infancy to 1–3 years
A new caretaker questionnaire for assessment of NYLS temperament characteristics in one-to-three-year-olds, part of a series of such instruments, is described. A study of stability of individual differences from early infancy to one-to-three years found significant correlations on all dimensions. Maternal general impressions, however, changed in several ways in the intervening time
Revision of the Infant Temperament Questionnaire
The Infant Temperament Questionnaire, originally published in 1970, has been revised to improve its psychometric characteristics. The number of items was increased from 70 to 95, rating options were increased from three to six, more items have high-low reversals, and they are randomized as to content area. The new form was standardized on 203 4- to 8-month-old infants. Good test-retest reliability was maintained and internal consistency of the ni…
