Temperament Styles of Romanian Children
Temperament Styles of Romanian Children

Summary/Abstract: Preferences for four bipolar temperament styles (i.e., extroversion-introversion, practical-imaginative, thinking-feeling, and organized-flexible) of 900 randomly sampled Romanian children in four age groups (i.e., 9-10, 11-12, 13-14, and 15-17) first are described and then compared to temperament qualities of 800 randomly sampled U.S. children age peers. Romanian children generally prefer extroversion, practical, thinking, and organized styles. Among Romanian children, more males than females prefer thinking and flexible styles and more females than males prefer feeling and organized styles. Gender differences are not apparent on extroversion-introversion and practical - imaginative styles. Age differences are most apparent on organized-flexible styles. In contrast to U.S. children, Romanian children are more likely to prefer extroverted, practical, and thinking styles.
