This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to synthesize the different findings of previous empirical research concerning the relationship between temperament and learning abilities (math and reading) in school-aged children. We included 19 published studies between 1990 and the present day across six countries with a cumulative sample of 9,847 children across 28 temperamental dimensions collected using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) method. Five temperamental macro-dimensions (factors) were created and a random-effects model was fitted for the data of each factor looking for the central tendency of the relationship between that specific temperamental profile and either math or reading. The main findings of this meta-analysis indicated positive correlations between Goal Orientation & Regulation profile and both reading and math, and between Positive Tendency & Social Skills profile and reading and math. The findings for Hyperactivation & Distractibility and Negative Tendency factors affirmed negative correlations with both reading and math. Our final temperamental factor, Behavioral Inhibition, did not result in a significant correlation.
Questa revisione sistematica e meta-analisi ha avuto lo scopo di sintetizzare i risultati presenti in letteratura riguardanti la relazione tra temperamento e apprendimenti, in particolare sono state considerate le abilità matematica e lettura nei bambini in età scolare. Sono stati inclusi 19 studi pubblicati tra il 1990 e oggi in sei paesi differenti per un totale cumulativo di 9.847 bambini valutati in 28 dimensioni temperamentali. La ricerca è stata svolta secondo le linee guida “Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA)”. Sono state create cinque macro-dimensioni (fattori) di temperamento e per ciascun fattore è stato applicato il metodo random-effects model al fine di testare la relazione con le abilità in matematica e nelle prove di lettura. I risultati di questa meta-analisi indicano l’esistenza di correlazioni positive tra il profilo Goal Orientation & Regulation con lettura e matematica e tra il profilo Positive Tendency & Social Skills con lettura e matematica. I risultati riguardanti il profilo Iperactivation & Distractibility mostrano una correlazione negativa con lettura e matematica. Infine, il fattore temperamentale Behavioural inhibition non ha portato ad alcuna correlazione significativa.

Abstract
This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to synthesize the different findings of previous empirical research concerning the relationship between temperament and learning abilities (math and reading) in school-aged children. We included 19 published studies between 1990 and the present day across six countries with a cumulative sample of 9,847 children across 28 temperamental dimensions collected using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) method. Five temperamental macro-dimensions (factors) were created and a random-effects model was fitted for the data of each factor looking for the central tendency of the relationship between that specific temperamental profile and either math or reading. The main findings of this meta-analysis indicated positive correlations between Goal Orientation & Regulation profile and both reading and math, and between Positive Tendency & Social Skills profile and reading and math. The findings for Hyperactivation & Distractibility and Negative Tendency factors affirmed negative correlations with both reading and math. Our final temperamental factor, Behavioral Inhibition, did not result in a significant correlation.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
