Temperament

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Temperament is the biologically based pattern of emotional reactivity and self-regulation present from early infancy.

Show

Infants differ measurably in reaction to novelty within the first months of life.

Watch for

Temperament is the raw material personality is built from. It is not personality already formed.
