Influences affecting and impacting on the health and wellbeing of children
Published in Jackie Musgrave, Health and Wellbeing for Babies and Children, 2022
Each cell of the human body contains the genes that a child inherits from their parents is a powerful influence on their health. The genetic material that a baby receives from their biological parents can predispose them to inherit a condition that affects their health in a myriad of ways. There are many inherited conditions and depending on what the condition is, this can mean that a child may have complex or additional needs right from birth. An inherited condition such as Noonan or Down Syndrome can be apparent in the very early days of life. Cystic fibrosis is another inherited condition; however, the signs may not emerge until the baby is a few months old. There are conditions that can develop later in childhood, such as asthma or diabetes, these conditions are discussed in Chapter 8. And there are conditions that are passed on that may not emerge until adulthood, such as heart disease. Also genetic conditions that cause health conditions, a baby's individual temperament can influence the development of their approach to life, this in turn can impact on wellbeing and in the longer term, this can impact on mental health.

Affiliation and control are aspects of relationship rooted directly in the process of social interaction, variously modulated in different settings and relationships. Individual temperament is another source of influence modulating the quality of participation and self-experience in relationships. It reflects recognizable individual differences in the characteristic behavioral styles of the participants themselves, typically expressed across varied situations like a personal “signature” or musical leitmotif—as when one is tempted to say “Oh, that’s just like Jack” (or “just like Jill”). The concept of temperament is familiar both in casual observation and in psychological research (e.g., Buss & Plomin, 1984; Halverson, Kohnstamm & Martin, 1994). It refers to persistent behavioral traits that may be “inborn” (i.e., inherited genetically or induced by the fetal environment), or result from early “formative” childhood learning.
Temperament and Character

In our subsequent presentation, both these terms will be used with the meaning which is most commonly employed in modern psychology. Thus, by “temperament.” we will understand the distinctive features of the aggregate of innate and inherited reactions, the inherited constitution of the organism. Thus, temperament is a concept which is, for the most part, physiological and biological in nature, encompassing that sphere of personality which manifests itself in instinctive, emotional, reflexive reactions. Throughout that realm of our behavior which is usually acknowledged to be involuntary and inherited, it is temperament which is the dominant concept.
The assessment of affective temperament and life quality in myofascial pain syndrome patients

Affective temperament’s current notion was improved by Akiskal (Akiskal et al. 2005). Depressive, hyperthymic, cyclothymic, irritable, and anxious, dominant affective temperaments were described. These temperaments range between the healthy emotional responses and the earliest asymptomatic appearances of mood disorders. To date, it has been shown that temperament properties affect disease severeness, life quality, and treatment results in diseases such as inflammatory diseases, cardiac diseases, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), multiple sclerosis (MS) (Asik et al. 2015; Nemcsik et al. 2017; Yildirim et al. 2017; Salhofer-Polanyi et al. 2018). In recent years, the association between chronic pain diseases and patients’ temperaments was the focus of researches (Gokmen et al. 2014; Rezvani et al. 2014; Santos et al. 2017). The results are also similar in these studies. Patient worries and troubles may be diminished by the evaluation and intervention of affective temperament in patients with MPS. Additionally, clinicians should think of alternative ways to treatment when planning intervention for these patients. However, as far as we know, no controlled research has been done for assessing affective temperament and its association with life quality in MPS patients.

Temperament has been defined as “biologically rooted individual differences in behavioral tendencies that are present in early life and are relatively stable across various kinds of situations and over the course of time” (Bates, 1987, p. 1101). This conceptualization allows for the integration of dimensional trait characteristics and associated neurobiological processes in developmental expressions of psychopathology. Proposed structural models of temperament in children consistently refer to three temperament dimensions representing fear/fearlessness, effortful control, and affiliation/antagonism (Mervielde & de Pauw, 2012). Operating from an integrative neurobehavioral perspective, these dimensions of temperament have been discussed in relation to distinct neurobiological processes and affiliated classes of behavior, and extremes along these temperament trait dimensions have been posited as risk factors for psychopathology (Clark, 2005; Muris & Ollendick, 2005; Nigg, 2006).
Developmental trajectories in psychiatric disorders: does substance/alcohol use moderate the effects of affective temperaments as moderators of age at onset? A study in post-acute, hospitalized patients with psychotic or DSM-5 bipolar or major depressive disorders

The deficit in emotional experiencing and expression that is present in SUDs, may be linked to temperamental characteristics. Temperament has been variously defined and referring to biologically determined attitudes of an individual, which are thought to be constitutive and determine how the organism handles its interactions with the environment. As such it is believed to consist of stable traits that change little with time, but just follow a developmental trajectory. Since ancient times, the definition of temperament was based on predispositions that had to do with the individual’s inner drives, and this obviously includes mood, which is prominently involved in the Hippocratic classification of ca.400 BC and is reproposed in modern terms by Akiskal's classification of affective temperaments,43 which we here followed. According to this classification, affective temperaments are depressive, hyperthymic, cyclothymic, irritable, and anxious and an individual is said to have a prevalent affective temperament according to which one prevails over the others when completing the Akiskals’ questionnaire,43 or classified with mixed temperaments if scores on more than one are equal.
