This paper concern the relation between infant affect and quality of the home environment. We use data from the National Longitudinal Survey , of Youth to test the hypothesis that infant irritability is most likely to be negatively correlated with the quality of the home environment in families which would be considered to be "at risk" based on characteristics of the mother (e.g., low child self-esteem or low maternal intelligence} or contextual characteristics (e.g., living in poverty or having several other children to care for). Our Second hypothesis is that positive affect on the part of the infant is more strongly related to the quality of care the infant receives in high-risk environments than in low-risk environments. In other words, a cheerful disposition may be a protective factor in high-risk environments. Little ,support was found for the first hypothesis. Infant irritability was negatively correlated with the quality of the home environment in both high-risk and low-risk families Support was found for the second hypothesis among infants who were greater than 12 months of age.
