Child Behaviour Questionnaire (CBQ; Rothbart et al., 2001): The CBQ is a parent/caregiver report measure developed for use in children aged 3–7 years. The original measure comprised 195 items over three dimensions of temperament: Extraversion/Surgency, Negative Affectivity and Effortful Control. Short-form, 94- and 36-item versions have since been developed (Putnam and Rothbart, 2006). The measures demonstrate adequate validity and reliability (Putnam and Rothbart, 2006; Rothbart et al., 2001) and have been used in, for example, the assessment of parental depression (Forman et al., 2007; Godfrey, 2013).

SAD patients showed a decrease in neuroticism scores after successful bright light therapy, correlating with changes in the total score in the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale [60]. Lilie et al. found personality abnormalities in 60% of a small number of SAD patients during winter, but only in 35% during summer [59]. The character dimension self-directedness was shown to be susceptible to the state effects of depression in major depressive disorder [86]. Similarly, recent findings suggest that SAD patients exhibit significantly lower scores in the factors of agreeableness, surgency, and emotional stability, and significantly higher in conscientiousness, during the nondepressed state when compared to healthy controls using the Five-Factor model of personality [87].

The Infant Behavior Questionnaire (Very Short Form) (IBQ-VSF), Early Childhood Behavior Questionnaire (Very Short Form) (ECBQ-VSF), and Childhood Behavior Questionnaire (Very Short Form) (CBQ-VSF) were used to measure temperament. The IBQ-VSF is a caregiver report measure recommended for use with children up to 18 months of age, the ECBQ-VSF is designed for use up to 36 months of age and the CBQ-VSF is designed for 3- to 8-year-old children (Puntnam & Rothbart, 2006). Parents completed the age-appropriate temperament questionnaire. There is no temperament measure suitable for children across this age range. However, research has shown that the factors of surgency, negative affect, and effortful control from the IBQ, ECBQ, and CBQ are stable across measures (Putnam et al., 2006). Reliability analysis of the subscales report a Cronbach’s alpha range of.7 to.78 for negative affect and .72 to .78 for effortful control (Allan et al., 2013; Putnam et al., 2010, 2008). Based on factor affiliation described in Putnam et al. (2008) scores for each measure were converted to z-scores. Four outliers from the low risk group were removed from the analysis for having extreme scores on temperament domains (n = 2 from preschool group, n = 2 from infant/toddler group).

The Early Adolescent Temperament Questionnaire–Revised Short Form (EATQ–R; Ellis & Rothbart, 2001) is a revised form of the EATQ (Capaldi & Rothbart, 1992). It consists of 65 items that are rated on a Likert scale ranging from 1 (almost always untrue of you) to 5 (almost always true of you). In this study, we used the Spanish version of the EATQ–R, translated by the Research Group on Developmental Psychology at the University of Murcia, Spain. The EATQ–R has previously been used in other studies with Spanish children (Checa, Rodríguez-Bailón, & Rueda, 2008) and assesses four traits: (a) effortful control (16 items), which includes attention, inhibitory control, and activation control; (b) surgency (16 items), which includes high-intensity pleasure, low fear, and low shyness; (c) negative affect (19 items), which includes frustration, depressive mood, and aggression; and (d) affiliativeness (14 items), which includes affiliation, perceptual sensitivity, and pleasure sensitivity. Cronbach’s alpha coefficients were .67, .58, .81, and .77, respectively, for effortful control, surgency, negative affect, and affiliativeness.
Justice Sensitivity in Middle Childhood: Measurement and Location in the Temperamental and Social Skills Space

We examined the measurement of JS via self- and parent-ratings as well as its relations with social behavior, temperamental dimensions, and social skills in middle childhood. We used three adapted versions (self-report questionnaire, self-report vignettes, parent-report) of the Justice Sensitivity Inventory for Children and Adolescents (JSI-CA5; Bondü & Elsner, 2015) to measure JS in 361 German children between 6 and 10 years of age. In doing so, the present study is the first to investigate JS in middle childhood via questionnaires and vignettes as well as self- and other-ratings, and to relate JS to temperamental traits, ToM, and self-regulatory skills. Based on past research and theoretical considerations summarized above, we derived the following hypotheses:JS can reliably be measured in middle childhood via self- and parent-reports and shows: (i) a factor structure of three distinct, but positively correlated JS subscales (reflecting victim, observer, and perpetrator JS), (ii) correlation patterns resembling previous findings (observer and perpetrator JS showing highest correlations, victim and perpetrator JS showing lowest correlations), (iii) positive correlations of corresponding JS perspectives in self- and parent-reports.Criterion and predictive validity can be replicated: (i) high victim and low perpetrator JS predict physical, verbal, and relational aggression; (ii) high observer and perpetrator JS predict prosocial behavior; high victim JS predicts less prosocial behavior.JS is related to temperamental dimensions and social skills, but moderate levels of correlations account for discriminant validity: We expected to find (i) no relations between surgency, but (ii) positive relations between negative affect and JS; (iii) positive correlations between observer and perpetrator JS and a negative correlation between victim JS and effortful control; (iv) positive correlations between observer and perpetrator JS and social skills and negative correlations with anger reactivity; (v) no or negative correlations between victim JS and social skills and positive correlations with anger reactivity.
