The purpose of the study was to examine the relations between mothers` and teachers` perceptions of temperament and children`s adjustment to preschool. The subjects were 115 4∼5 years old children. The instruments were the Parent Temperament Questionnaire and the Preschool Adjustment Questionnaire. The data were analyzed with t-test, Pearson`s r and multiple regression. It was found that there were differences between mothers and teachers in perception of child`s temperament. Children who were well adjusted in the preschool classroom were perceived by their teachers as being high in adaptability, activity and responsivity and by mothers as being high in adaptability.
