Explain the three new classifications of temperament included in a recent revision of Chess and Thomas's original categories, which were easy, difficult, and slow-to-warm-up.
What will be an ideal response?
The general classification of temperament now focuses more on positive affect and approach, negative affectivity, and effortful control (self-regulation). Positive affect and approach is much like the personality trait of extraversion/introversion. Children with a temperament that involves negative affectivity may cry and fret often. Effortful control involves the ability to control one's emotions and to use coping strategies when emotions run high.
