Description
The Infant Behavior Questionnaire-Revised (IBQ-R) is a parent-report questionnaire used to measure the temperament of an infant (3-12 months old). The 36-item instrument (very short form) includes three broad scales. Respondents are asked to read each description of behavior and indicate how many times in the past week the infant exhibited this behavior. Respondents should circle the frequency on a 7-point Likert scale (never, very rarely, less than half the time, half the time, more than half the time, almost always, always).

Selection Rationale
Dr. Mary Rothbart is a pioneer in the measure of temperament and her Infant Behavior Questionnaire (IBQ) has been used successfully since 1981 and translated into 20 languages. The instrument has been revised since then: once in 1998 to create a short version and again in 2008 to create a very short version.

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.
Keywords
