Sažetak
The aim was to examine the relationship between dimensions of children’ s temperament (negative affectivity, extraversion/surgency and effortful control) and externalizing and internalizing problems, understanding of emotion and aggressive and prosocial behaviour of children. The investigation included 506 children (265 girls and 241 boys) aged between three and seven as well as their parents and kindergarten teachers. Hierarchical regression analyses were conducted with externalizing and internalizing problems, understanding of emotion and aggressive and prosocial behaviour as criterion variables and sociodemographic variables and dimension of temperament as predictors. The results showed that effortful control is the most important for better child psychosocial adjustment.
