Temperament in Middle Childhood Questionnaire - Effortful control (TMCQ-EC)

The Temperament in Middle Childhood Questionnaire (TMCQ) is a highly differentiated assessment of temperament in middle childhood. Temperament dimensions for which TMCQ scales have been created were developed and adapted from the Children’s Behavior Questionnaire (CBQ: Rothbart, 2001), Hampton Individual Differences Questionnaire (Victor & Baker, 2001), the Childhood Temperament and Personality Questionnaire (CTPQ; Victor, Rothbart & Baker, 2003), and the CBQ-BPI (Ablow & Measelle, 1993; Hwang, 2002). Four factors have been reliably recovered from this instrument, labeled Negative Affectivity, Surgency Extraversion, Effortful Control, and Sociability/Affiliation.

Within L-CID, 15 items of the Effortful Control subscale, consisting of Attentional Control and Inhibitory Control, were used. Additionally, items were alternated with 5 Wildman questions.
