dc.description.abstractThe present study was conducted in Dhobi village of Hisar district of Haryana state. One hundred children, i.e., 50 boys and 50 girls in the age group of 6 to 8 years who had at least one younger sibling were selected randomly. Mothers of these children also participated in the study. Mothers’ assessed their own temperament, their children’s temperament and their interaction with children. Fifty nine percent children were in the age group of 6-7 years and the remaining in the age group of 7+-8 years. Forty six per cent were in class one and 48 per cent in class two. Majority of mothers fell in intermediate category of sociability, ascendant, secretiveness, reflective, impulsivity, placid, accepting, responsible, cooperative, persistence, aggressive, tolerance and tough-minded dimensions of temperament. In vigorous and warmth dimensions of temperament, majority of mothers were in high category. Mean scores of target sample for sociability, emotionality, energy, distractibility and rhythmicity dimensions were almost similar to that of standard mean scores given by Malhotra and Malhotra (1988). Majority of children fell in intermediate category of sociability and energy; and majority of children belonged to high category of emotionality and rythmicity. These are indicators of easy temperamental style. Boys were more energetic and distractible than girls. Results showed that majority of mothers were highly affectionate and average to high in responsiveness, encouragement and teaching domains of mother-child interaction. Mothers were more responsive and were more involved in teaching with boys as compared to girls. Parental education has positive relationship with responsiveness, encouragement and teaching domains of mother-child interaction. Sociable children were likely to have sociable, reflective, placid, persistent, accepting, vigorous, warm, tolerant and tough-minded mothers. Happy children were likely to have mothers who were reflective, responsible, co-operative, ascendant, placid, accepting, persistent, warm and tolerant. Rhythmic children had mothers who were sociable, vigorous, persistent, impulsive, accepting, responsible and tough-minded in temperament. These are indicators of ‘goodness of fit’ between children’s and mothers’ temperament. Highly energetic children were more likely to have mothers who were temperamentally vigorous, tolerant, reflective, impulsive, cooperative and persistent. Children who were high on distractibility dimensions of temperament had mothers who were high on ascendant, reflective, sociability, impulsivity, placid, accepting, vigorous, persistence and aggressiveness dimensions of temperament. Easy children were likely to have positive interaction with their mothers and that there tend to be good ‘fit’ between children’s temperament and mother-child interaction. Affectionate, responsive, encouraging mothers involved in teaching their children were temperamentally sociable, ascendant, reflective, responsible, vigorous, cooperative, persistent, warm and tolerant.en_US
