Child and Adolescent Psychosocial and Emotional Development Personality Traits and Psychology Psychological Testing and Assessment

Abstract

This investigation attempts to establish what behaviors are both predictive and persistent throughout the developmental span. Repeated ratings of a wide variety of behaviors shown by normal children from age 5 to 16 were analyzed. The measures which at all times and for both sexes were most general (predictive) and persistent were found to group into three dimensions: withdrawal-expressiveness, reactivity-placidity, and passivity-dominance. Sex differences and over-time changes in the pattern of correlates of the three dimensions suggest that both their meaning and their expression may vary as a function of shifting developmental demands.
