    Author: Pauli-Pott U, Mertesacker B, Beckmann D.
    Journal: Z Kinder Jugendpsychiatr Psychother; 2003 May; 31(2):99-110. PubMed ID: 12784520.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVES: This study assesses a German version of Rothbart's Infant Behavior Questionnaire for the internal consistency, inter-correlations and stability of the scales. Associations between the scales with maternal depression and anxiety are analyzed. METHODS: Independent samples of infants aged 6 to 8 months and 10 to 12 months (n = 149, respectively n = 109) and their mothers were studied. A longitudinal study of a sample of 101 mother-infant pairs was carried out at the infant's age of 4, 8 and 12 months. RESULTS: The internal consistency and independence of the five scales on the questionnaire are satisfactory. The stability coefficients correspond to a good degree to those of the American version of the IBQ scales. CONCLUSIONS: Thus a German version is now available that can be used in research and practice to measure the features of early childhood temperament by parental report.
