Question

Bindi quickly establishes regular routines, is generally cheerful, and adapts easily to new experiences. In Thomas and Chess's model of temperament, Bindi would be classified as a(n) __________ child.

Answer 1

Answer:

Easy

Explanation:

In psychology, the term temperament refers to the aspects of our personality we are born with.

According to many psychologists such as Thomas and Chess there are three main types of temperament: easy, difficult and slow to warm up.

1. Easy temperament: these babies adapt easily to new situations and they have regular routines and in general they are cheerful and have a positive mood.
2. Difficult temperament: These babies don't adapt as easily to new situations, have irregular routines and have a negative mood. They tend to cry a lot.
3. Slow-to-warm-up temperament: They are slow to adapt to new things and have a low level of energy. They are usually catalogued as shy babies.

In this example, Bindy has regular routines, is cheerful and easy to adapt to new situations. We can see that according to what we said before, she would be classified as an Easy child.
