Cross-cultural differences in the structure of infant temperament: United States of America (U.S.) and Russia

Conducted Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) of the Infant Behavior Questionnaire-Revised (IBQ-R; Gartstein & Rothbart, 2003) with samples of U.S. and Russian infants, examining cross-cultural differences in the structure of temperament. A generally consistent pattern of factor loadings across the two cultures was obtained following model modification.
