TL;DR
Sixty children, three to seven years old, each of whom had at least one mentally ill parent, were assessed for both temperamental differences and behavior disorder.
Abstract
Sixty children, three to seven years old, each of whom had at least one mentally ill parent, were assessed for both temperamental differences and behavior disorder. Information was obtained from parents and teachers one year after the initial interviews. Certain temperamental characteristics, especially low habit regularity and low fastidiousness, were predictive of the development of later psychiatric disorder.

In a group of children studied longitudinally from infancy, the characteristics of behavioural reactivity of the 21 coming to psychiatric notice were compared with those of the remaining 71, finding that the clinical cases differed significantly from the children not presenting problems of behaviour, in that they were more irregular, non-adaptable, intense, and exhibited more negative mood.
