  • Title: Adverse temperamental characteristics and early behaviour problems in 3-month-old infants born with different psychosocial and biological risks.
    Author: Laucht M, Esser G, Schmidt MH.
    Journal: Acta Paedopsychiatr; 1993; 56(1):19-24. PubMed ID: 8517156.
    Abstract:
    In a prospective longitudinal study the influence of biological and psychosocial risk on early emotional and behaviour problems was investigated in a high-risk sample. Adverse characteristics of temperament and psychosomatic symptoms were assessed in 362 infants aged 3 months by observation of behaviour and parent interview instruments. Results showed cumulative negative effects of nearly equal significance of both biological and psychosocial risk on the severity and number of behavioural disturbances. No sex differences and no interaction of risk factors were found. Detailed analysis revealed that single risk factors were related to different patterns of infant behaviour problems.
