The main purpose of the study was to investigate dimensions of behavioral characteristics in early childhood. Factor analysis of the Revised Infant Temperament Questionnaire (Carey & McDevitt, 1978) and the Toddler Temperament Scale (Fullard, McDevitt & Carey, 1984) with a representative sample of 817 (RITQ) and 615 (TTS) Japanese children (RITQ : 6-month-old, TTS : 18-month-old) provided limited empirical support for its original 9-dimension structure. Of the original 9 dimensions, "rhythmicity", "attention span and persistence" (RITQ and TTS) and "distractibity", "intensity of reaction" (TTS) emerged as relatively pure factors. The other factors were named "fearfulness for stranger and strange situation", "frustration tolerance", "audio-visual sensitivity", "tactile sensitivity" and "sensitivity to food". Comparison of these factors with other studies showed possibility of synthesizing measurement of behavioral characteristics in early childhood.
