Chucky is a three-year-old who is very easily upset. For the most part, he likes to sit and play with building toys for hours at a time. When he goes to new places, he gets angry easily and avoids moving around or interacting with other people. Given this information, how would you expect Chucky to be evaluated on Rothbart's three dimensions of temperament?
What will be an ideal response?
Mary Rothbart's conception of temperament includes three different dimensions:
(a) surgency/extroversion – a child high on this dimension would be happy, active, vocal, and would seek out stimulation. The child in this question would be low on this dimension.
(b) negative affect – a child high on this dimension would often be angry, fearful, frustrated, shy, and would be difficult to soothe. The child in this question would be higher on this dimension.
(c)effortful control – a child high on this dimension can focus attention, is not easily distracted, and can inhibit its responses. The child in this question would be higher on this dimension.
