Description
The Early Adolescent Temperament Questionnaire (EATQ-R) is a 65-item self- or parent-report questionnaire that measures the 11 dimensions of temperament (activation control, activity level, affiliation, attention, fear, frustration, high-intensity pleasure, inhibitory control, perceptual sensitivity, pleasure sensitivity, and shyness) and the 2 dimensions of behavior (aggression and depressive mood). Participants are asked to read each description of behavior and indicate how many times in the past week the behavior was exhibited. Participants 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).

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.
