摘要：This study analyzed temperament of ethnic Korean children residing in Korea comparing them with Korean children and American children residing in the USA. Parents of 169 Korean,Korean-American and American 4- 7-year-old children rated them on the Very Short Form of Children's Behavior Qustionnaire (CBQ;Rothbart et al,2001). On most subscales,Korean children were reported higher than ethnic Korean children in the US while Korean-American children were rated lower than others. Attention focusing was influenced by macro systems;shifting and impulsivity were more sensitive to biological or micro systems. The bilingual stting of Korean-American children may explain the dfference in control of this group from others. This study clealy showed that ecological sttings play important roles in temperament.
