A child is starting school and 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


Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Temperament is the way individuals respond to their external and internal environment and sets the stage for the interactive dynamics of growth and development.
Rationale 2: Physical characteristics include eye color and potential height and do not affect how children interact, for the most part.
Rationale 3: Environment includes family, religion, climate, culture, school, community, and nutrition and would not play as big of a role in how the child responds to peers as temperament does.
Rationale 4: Culture is part of environmental factors.
