- Abstract
The present work proposes to analyze the associations between temperament and cortisol regulation in a sample of 46 boys and girls of 5 years-old, from poor homes; as well as the modulating role of sex and the socio-environmental conditions of households in such associations. The results suggest a higher proportion of morning cortisol decline during the night for girls with lower levels of negative affectivity, boys with higher levels of effortful control, as well as for children from homes with better socio-environmental conditions, and with higher levels of effortful control. Likewise, specific associations were identified between cortisol regulation and a set of 12 items of the temperament questionnaire, most of them corresponding to the negative affectivity dimension. These results provide evidence for the study of self-regulatory development in childhood, considering different levels of organization.
