概要	The TABC is a parent-completed questionnaire assessing infant and toddler temperament characteristics in children aged 3 months to 3 years. Developed by Fullard, McDevitt, and Carey (1984), it measures nine temperament dimensions derived from the New York Longitudinal Study of Thomas and Chess: activity level, rhythmicity, approach/withdrawal, adaptability, intensity of reaction, threshold of responsiveness, mood, distractibility, and persistence. The TABC is widely used in pediatric and developmental psychology research to characterize individual differences in behavioral style and predict developmental trajectories.	The NBO is a brief, observation-based system designed to illuminate newborn behavioral competencies and individual differences for parents and healthcare providers. Developed by J. Kevin Nugent and colleagues as a companion to the longer Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale (NBAS), the NBO uses 18 key behavioral observations to characterize newborn strengths and to guide parent education about infant cues, state regulation, and social capabilities. Unlike the NBAS, the NBO does not generate numerical scores but instead provides qualitative, parent-centered interpretation emphasizing infant strengths and readiness to interact.
