Abstract

This study investigated cognitive and emotional correlates of temperament in a sample of 319 adult pregnant women. Results showed that reactive (Negative Affect, Surgency/Extraversion) and regulatory (Effortful Control) components of temperament were differentially associated with cognitive and executive skills and perceived stress. Orienting Sensitivity was not related to most correlates.
