description | Temperament is a significant variable which affects multiple dimensions of human functioning.
Present research explored the relationship of personal variables with temperament in a sample of 105
children diagnosed with ID in Lahore, Pakistan. The sample included both girls (n = 46) and boys (n = 59)
and mean age was 9.02 (sd = 2.02). Rothbart’s temperament questionnaires and Adaptive Behavior Scale
were employed to assess temperament domains and adaptive functioning of participants. Intellectual
functioning, adaptive functioning and clinically significant behavioral problems were studied as significant
correlated of temperament. Gender differences were also explored across domains of temperament,
surgency and negative affectivity revealed significant mean differences across gender. Intellectual
functioning shared positive association with surgency and effortful control and inverse with negative
affectivity. Behavioral problems shared positive association with negative affectivity and negative
relationship with other two domains. |
