Family correlates of temperament continuity and change across middle childhood.
This paper reports on continuity and change of extreme traits of temperament from age seven to 12 in subgroups selected from a large random sample and on the association of continuity with certain aspects of family functioning. Results suggest a definite degree of stability of extreme temperament over time. Implications of the findings are discussed and directions for future research suggested.
