abstract="Socialization of young children is a primary focus in preschool settings. One of the factors that has a strong impact on early socialization experiences and adjustment to preschool is temperament of the child. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between teachers' ratings of child temperament and preschool behavioral adjustment. High task orientation and low reactivity were found to be related to positive socialization toward teachers and the classroom setting. Personal-social flexibility was related to peer socialization variables. The relations of low task orientation and high reactivity on adaptation to preschool are discussed.<p />",
