Compared the
relationship of temperament to adjustment in Israeli and American
early childhood group care centers. Cross-cultural differences in
the ideals held by caregivers and their judgment of actual children
were found. The relationship between temperament and adjustment
differed between the two groups. Suggested that the "fit"
concept is useful in understanding adjustment. (Author/GR)
