“…All of these researchers examined the emotional aspects of temperament in various ways. Some examined emotional expressions (states) over time (Carranza Carnicero et al, 2000;Goldsmith & Campos, 1990;Riese, 1987;Rothbart et al, 2000;Sullivan et al, 1992;Wachs et al, 2004), whereas others examined trait emotion (Casalin et al, 2012;Durbin et al, 2007;Neppl et al, 2010;Van den Akker et al, 2010). Durbin et al examined the emotional aspects of temperament using laboratory measures (The Laboratory Temperament Assessment Battery [Lab-TAB]; Goldsmith, Reilly, Lemery, Longley, & Prescott, 1993).…”

“…Some researchers have focused on infants (Carranza Carnicero, Perez-Lopez, Del Carmen González Salinas, & Martinez-Fuentes, 2000;Goldsmith & Campos, 1990;Riese, 1987;Rothbart, Derryberry, & Hershey, 2000;Sullivan, Lewis, & Alessandri, 1992;Wachs, Pollitt, Cueto, & Jacoby, 2004). Two studies have been conducted in which researchers have examined the stability of the emotional aspects of temperament in childhood (Durbin, Hayden, Klein, & Olino, 2007;Van den Akker, Deković, Prinzie, & Asscher, 2010).…”

I examined the stability of emotional expression in 18 toddlers aged 1 year, 2 years, and 3 years using laboratory observation. The children were presented with 5 social stimuli. Their emotional expressions were video recorded and later behaviorally coded by 2 independent raters. Average latency, intensity, and duration scores for emotional expression for each child were calculated at ages 1, 2, and 3 years and compared using Friedman's test. Intensity of emotional expression in the children showed stability over the 3 years; no significant differences were found between ages 1, 2, and 3 ( 2 (2) = 1.78, p = .41). Additionally, based on parental questionnaires for each year, from 1 to 3 years of age intensity, mood, activity, approach, and adaptability were 5 dimensions of temperament that showed stability.

“…In order to compare the present data to another German sample (Vonderlin et al, 2012) a factor analysis was carried out on the IBQ-R scales for each age point. Following Carranza and colleagues (Carranza Carnicero et al, 2000), both stability in parental ratings of infant temperament as well as developmental change were assessed. Stability of the IBQ-R scales was reviewed via Pearson product-moment correlations and developmental changes were reviewed via paired t-tests or Wilcoxon-tests if data were not normally distributed.…”

“…No change was observed in the ratings for Sadness and Duration of Orienting. Carranza Carnicero et al (2000) reported similar developmental changes in the first year of life in a study employing the five subscales of the original IBQ (Rothbart, 1981). Between 3 and 12 months, they observed an increase in Activity Level, Distress to Limitations, Fear and Smiling and Laughter and no changes in Duration of Orienting.…”

“…Based on previous studies (Slaughter & Suddendorf, 2007), we expected a moderate number of dropouts in the current sample. Also based on previous work (Carranza Carnicero, Péréz-Lopéz, Del Carmen González Salinas, & Martínez-Fuentes, 2000), we predicted a general stability of temperament across the two age points as well as an impact on dropout of the temperamental domains Distress to Limitations, Duration of Orienting and Activity Level. Distress to Limitations includes fussing and crying while being motor constrained or frustrated.…”

Association of Infant Temperament With Subsequent Obesity in Young Children of Mothers With Gestational Diabetes Mellitus

et al. 2019

Infant temperament is associated with excess weight gain or childhood obesity risk in samples of healthy individuals, although the evidence has been inconsistent. To our knowledge, no prior research has examined this topic among children exposed to gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in utero. OBJECTIVE To prospectively evaluate infant temperament in association with overweight and obesity status at ages 2 to 5 years among children born to mothers who experienced GDM. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This prospective cohort study took place at Kaiser Permanente Northern California medical centers. We studied singleton infants delivered at 35 weeks' gestational age or later to mothers who had been diagnosed with GDM. Data were collected from 2009 to 2016, and data analysis occurred from June 2017 to October 2018. EXPOSURES The primary exposures in the child's first year were soothability, distress to limitations, and activity aspects of temperament, as assessed by a validated questionnaire. Modifiable covariates in the child's first year included breastfeeding intensity and duration monthly ratio scores, along with the timing of the introduction of sugary beverages and complementary foods. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The primary outcome was child overweight and obesity status, assessed at ages 2 to 5 years. Multinomial logistic regression models estimated adjusted odds ratios and 95% CIs for infants whose temperaments were measured at 6 to 9 weeks of age and categorized as elevated (Ն75th percentile) or not elevated in the 3 domains. We controlled for nonmodifiable and modifiable covariates across models. RESULTS A total of 382 mother-infant pairs participted, including 130 infants (34.0%) who were non-Hispanic white, 126 infants (33.0%) who were Hispanic, 96 infants (25.1%) who were Asian, 26 infants (6.8%) who were non-Hispanic black, and 4 infants (1.1%) who were of other races/ethnicities. In descriptive analyses, elevated infant soothability and activity temperaments were associated with the early introduction of 100% fruit juice and/or sugar-sweetened beverages (at ages <6 months) and shorter breastfeeding duration (from 0 to <3 months), while elevated distress to limitations was associated with early introduction of complementary foods (at ages <4 months). Elevated soothability consistently was associated with a higher odds of later childhood obesity, with adjusted odds ratios across models ranging from 2.22 (95% CI, 1.04-4.73) to 2.54 (95% CI, 1.28-5.03). Greater breastfeeding intensity and duration (12-month combined) score was associated with lower odds of obesity, independent of infant temperament and other covariates. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Among this high-risk population of infants, elevated soothability was associated with early childhood obesity risk, perhaps in part because caregivers use sugary drinks to assuage infants. Soothability temperament may be a novel screening target for early obesity prevention interventions involving responsive feeding and emotion regulation.
