A child who is starting school is being screened for certain developmental milestones. How the child interacts with other children is most influenced by which of the following factors?
1. Temperament
2. Physical characteristics
3. Environment
4. Culture
1. Temperament
Rationale:
Temperament is the way individuals respond to their external and internal environment, and it sets the stage for the interactive dynamics of growth and development. Physical characteristics include eye color and potential height but do not affect how children interact, for the most part. Environmental factors include family, religion, climate, culture, school, community, and nutrition; they do not play as significant a role in how the child responds to peers as temperament does. Culture is a one of the environmental factors.
