Research Abstract

Questionnaires, real-time internet interviews and analysis of metals contained in children's hair were conducted to investigate the change of temperament of three cohorts of children, differences of temperament in kindergarten vs daycare center children, and potential effects of psychosocial and environmental chemicals on temperament. Questionnaires result showed no significant difference in children's temperament between 1992 and 2002, while children's temperament in 2002 showed some peculiarities as compared with that of children in other cohorts. Children of daycare centers were found to be higher on Extroversion/Surgency than kindergarten children. Results from internet interviews and questionnaires indicated that the presence or absence of siblings, and the physical closeness in family life were determinants of temperament. Significant relationship between children's temperament and mothers' dietary habit during pregnancy and current dietary habit of children were also found.
