Summary: | 碩士 === 臺北市立大學 === 幼兒教育學系碩士班 === 103 === The purpose of the study was to assess children inhibition development. Another
aim was to find out temperament difference and stability in different age. Researcher
assessed 124 children reactions to an unfamiliar person and objects in an unfamiliar
lab. Children participated in this procedure designed to elicit behavior inhibition when
they are 14 months and 24months. Behavior representing the child’s reactions toward
the stranger, mother, and novel objects were coded. To find out the inhibition stability,
researcher divided all children into three groups, included high inhibition children,
middle inhibition children, and low inhibition children. Mother completed Toddler
Temperament Scale (TTS) In order to find out temperament difference and stability
between two ages. The results revealed that there are 24% high inhibition children
remain stable, 35% low inhibition children remain stable. And most of the high/low
inhibition children will change to middle inhibition. The withdrawal component of
temperament scale was different between three groups. High inhibition children have
the highest stability in temperament scale with no components changed. Middle
inhibition children have the lowest stability. Although the researcher can’t make the
conclusion that the inhibition and temperament is stability or not, this study shows the
stability of inhibition and temperament in a specific age.
