The child assessments of the national longitudinal survey of youth (NLSY) provide a unique source of information for studying cognitive and socioemotional development longitudinally in a large national sample of children. This article presents an investigation of the pscyhometric properties of the temprament scales that measure the personlity and social adjustment of children zero to 6 years old. These scales consist of a set of maternally and interviewer reported items available form the 1986, 1988 and 1990 NLSY administrations. Four temprament scales are presentd : two scales for infants 6 to 23 months old and two scales for children 2 to 6 years old. We investigate the extent to which the temprament scales meet the following criteria : a. internal reliability b. continuity of factor structures across time c. continuity of factor structures across age groups d. continuity of factor structures longitudinally e. longitudinal stability of scale scores f. stability of factor structures across different socio demographic sub population and g. convergent and divergent construct validity. The findings indicate that the internal reliability, the cross - sectional and longitudinal continuity of factor structures are satisfactory. The stability of the factor structures across socio demographic subgroups, however, could not be supported. Some uses of the temprament scales are suggested that are expected to be robust to systematic measurement errors. A set of item coefficients is presented that may be used to construct temperament scale scores.
