“…Characteristics related to a child's temperament, such as the activity profile, impulsivity and distractibility, have also been related to accidental injuries (e.g., Manheimer & Mellinger, 1967;Pless, Taylor, & Arsenault, 1995). Plumert and Schwebel (1997) showed that eight-year-olds with high levels of gross motor activity, intense excitement for pleasurable activities, enjoyment of high intensity situations, and fast speed of response initiation had an increase of severe day-to-day injuries.…”

“…Child characteristics that have been associated with injury include certain child clinical disorders (e.g., attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and oppositional defiant disorder), temperament traits (i.e., individual difference traits reflected in stable behavioral tendencies, e.g., sensation seeking), and aspects of cognitive functioning, such as attention and appraisal of risk (Bijur, Golding, Haslum, & Kurzon, 1988;Byrnes, Bawden, Beattie, & DeWolfe, 2003;Davidson, 1987;Hillier & Morrongiello, 1998;Horwitz, Morgensten, DiPietro, & Morrison, 1988;Manheimer & Mellinger, 1967;Morrongiello & Lasenby, 2006;Schwebel & Plumert, 1999). Within preschool populations, because of the difficulty in diagnosing psychopathology at very young ages and the challenge of assessing cognitions about injury risk in those with limited verbal abilities, the research has focused primarily on identifying temperament-based behavioral traits that elevate young children's risk of injury.…”

Interactions Between Child Behavior Patterns and Parent Supervision: Implications for Children’s Risk of Unintentional Injury

Unintentional injuries are the leading cause of death for children. Prior research has implicated both child behavioral attributes and parent supervisory patterns as risk factors. The present study assessed interactions between these two risk factors and determined whether supervision moderates the relation between child attributes and injury. Mothers completed questionnaire measures of child attributes and supervisory patterns and also recorded how they supervised their young child (2-5 years) at home on each of 10 randomly selected days within a 3-week period. Results provide support for the moderating effect of supervision: Supervision interacted with some child attributes to elevate children's risk of medically attended injury and with other attributes to decrease injury risk. Implications for preventing childhood injuries are discussed.

“…We found a nearly equal distribution of sexes (51% male; n = 914,367 and 49% female; n = 869,900) for children and adolescents aged 0-18 years http://www.statistik.at. The higher number in injured boys and the lower mean age at the time of presentation might be related to their more aggressive behavior and higher activity level [21,22].…”
