Abstract
Thirty-four couples rated their 6-month-old first-born infants' temperaments with Bates' Infant Characteristics Questionnaire (ICQ) and Carey's Infant Temperament Questionnaire (ITQ). Mothers and infants were videotaped in their homes during feedings on two consecutive days to assess mother and infant behavior. Results indicated that parents had moderate agreement about their own infant's temperament on the ICQ. There was little convergence between the ICQ and the ITQ measures of infant difficulty. ICQ parent-rated unpredictable infants were rated by observers as less responsive during the feedings. These results are discussed in the context of the meaning and measurement of infant temperament.
