Abstract
•We evaluated cross-cultural differences between Italian and US toddlers’ temperament.•A number of differences were found related to culture, age, and gender.•Cultural differences are discussed in terms of parental behaviors and ethnotheories.
Cross-cultural differences between matched samples (N=306) of Italian and US toddlers were evaluated. Italian toddlers received higher scores on cuddliness, impulsivity, low intensity pleasure, perceptual sensitivity and positive anticipation, whereas US toddlers were higher on frustration, high-intensity pleasure, inhibitory control, shyness, and soothability.
