Answer to Question 1

Answer: Many models of child temperament overlap with some of the Big Five personality traits. One describes children in terms of extraversion/surgency, effortful control (similar to high conscientiousness), and negative affectivity (high neuroticism). Agreeableness and openness are not as clearly seen among young children.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A cross-sectional study collects data at one time and compares people of different ages. The benefits are that cross-sectional studies are easier to conduct and can be less costly. The downside is that the younger participants are different people from the older ones, so they may differ in ways other than age because they represent different generations.
