The present study was conducted in Brisbane, Australia. One hundred mothers and 55 fathers of 4 to 6 year old children assessed temperament of their children using Behavioural Style Questionnaire (McDevsitt and Carey 197 5).

Arrhythmic children were withdrawn, slow to adapt, more intense, non-persistent and low on threshold. Children who were withdrawn and slow to adapt were more likely to be negative mood, non-persistent, highly distractible and low on threshold. Children perceived low on threshold were non-persistent and distractible. Results also revealed sex differences in temperamental dimensions
