Question

A child who is recently admitted to school is introverted and prefers being alone at the school. Which temperament is the child exhibiting, according to Stella Chess and Alexander Thomas’s longitudinal study?

Answer 1

Answer:

The child will be categorized as a slow to warm-up child. These children are uneasy or cautious in new situations or with unfamiliar people. They react negatively with mild intensity to new stimuli. An easy child is open and adaptable to change and displays a mild-to-moderately intense mood that is typically positive. A difficult child adapts slowly to new routines, people, or situations. This type of child has intense mood expressions with negative behavior. A hyperactive child usually has problems concentrating and paying attention.

Explanation:

It is important to clarify that longitudinal studies, unlike cross-sectional studies, analyze a situation over time, which is what helps to determine and verify the evolution of psychological behaviors.
