- Summary:
-
The appropriate-for-gestational-age (AGA) and small-for-gestational-age (SGA) infants from 30 pairs of full-term and 15 pairs of preterm same-sex twins were compared for neonatal temperament. The evaluation of neonatal temperament included ratings of irritability, resistance to soothing, activity level, reactivity, and reinforcement value. Results of t-tests indicated that for both the full-term and preterm groups, there were no significant differences between AGA and SGA infants in any of the behavioral areas. A stepwise discriminant analysis failed to demonstrate differences in the neonatal temperament profile of AGA and SGA infants. It was concluded that being small for gestational age does not place the infant at risk for deviance in behaviors related to temperament during the neonatal period. (Author/RH)
