Temperament in Middle Childhood Questionnaire - Discomfort, Fear, Perceptual sensitivity (TMCQ-DFP)

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, 27 items were used from the Discomfort (how quickly is the child uncomfortable), Fear (how fearful is the child) and Perceptual Sensitivity (how sensitive to external stimuli is the child) subscales.
