Abstract
Multiple regression analysis was used to examine the relation between temperament and psychological adjustment in a sample of female adult incest victims (N = 57). Several dimensions of temperament, including activity level, mood, approach/withdrawal, flexibility (adaptability), and rhythmicity were significant predictors of various indicators of adjustment and self‐esteem. The findings suggest that temperamental characteristics may moderate the effects of childhood incest on adult adjustment.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
