Description
The Children’s Behavior Questionnaire (CBQ) is a 195-item, parent-report questionnaire used to measure the temperament of a child (3-7 years old). The 36-item instrument Very Short Form (CBQ-VSF) includes questions from the original CBQ to assess three broad factors (urgency/extraversion, negative affectivity, effortful control). Respondents are asked to read each description of behavior and indicate how many times in the past week the child exhibited this behavior. Respondents should circle the frequency on a 7-point Likert scale, beginning with "extremely untrue of your child" (1) and ending with "extremely true of your child" (7). A "not applicable" response is also available.

Selection Rationale
Dr. Mary Rothbart is a pioneer in the measure of temperament, and her Children’s Behavior Questionnaire (CBQ) has been used successfully since 1994 and translated into 20 languages. The instrument was revised in 2006 to create a Short Form (CBQ-SF) and Very Short Form (CBQ-VSF). The original instrument had 195 items and 15 scales.

Definition
This is a measure used to assess individual differences in emotional and motor reactivity and the attentional capacities that support self-regulation in children.
Purpose
Temperament includes several dimensions of emotion and reactivity that are part of a person’s personality. Maturation and life experiences change these dimensions as a person ages. These dimensions can be measured via questionnaires, and the results may be correlated with changes in personality and behaviors later in life.
