Infant Behavior Questionnaire Revised (IBQ-R)

The Infant Behavior Questionnaire (IBQ) and Infant Behavior Questionnaire-Revised (IBQ-R) were designed to measure temperament in infants between the ages of 3 and 12 months. The IBQ assesses dimensions of temperament, such as activity level, soothability, fear, distress to limitations, smiling and laughter, and duration of orienting, among others. The items on the IBQ ask parents to rate the frequency of specific temperament-related behaviors observed over the past week (or sometimes two weeks). The revised version referred to as the IBQ-Revised (IBQ-R) comes in a Short version (91 items; 14 scales) or a Very Short version (37 items; 3 broad scales).

In TRAILS Next, activity level, distress to limitations, approach, fear, duration of orienting, smiling and laughter, vocal reactivity, sadness, perceptual sensitivity, high intensity pleasure, low intensity pleasure, cuddliness, soothability, and falling reactivity were included.
