Temperament in children delivered by vacuum extraction.
Thomas and Chess's temperament variables were studied via questionnaires in two samples of children delivered by vacuum extraction and in a standardization sample at six months and at one and two years of age. Temperament was not systematically related to vacuum extraction delivery per se or to its indications or to offspring neonatal somatic impairment.
