Galen’s identification of temperaments even though the labeling is different, the features are quite similar.
1.10 Outline of the Thesis
The different researchers label their understanding of temperament differently with real differences reflected across studies, but it has been noted that there is a substantial agreement in the contents of constructs across a number of studies of temperament (Rothbart & Bathes, 1998). These labels will be examined but there will be a focus on Galen whose label was referred to and who serves as a source of inspiration to some researchers.
In chapter one, there is the background of the study which highlights the different theories of temperament, the statement of research problem, the purpose and objectives of the study, the limitations of the study, the research questions to be answered.
In chapter two, there is the literature review which deals with past literature and recent ones, historical background alongside detailed information about temperament and personality theories is collated from several scholars and related to the present research.
In chapter three, is the methodology which elaborates on the research data, research design, research procedure and instrumentation.
Chapter four deals with the data analysis, all the data gathered is processed here including the major findings according to the data analyzed.
Chapter five, the conclusion of the research, addresses the summary of the research work and includes recommendations for further studies.

CHAPTER TWO
LITERATURE REVIEW
An important question which is a major concern in Goldsmith et al. (1987) is seen in the title of the article: ‘What is temperament?’ This question has been debated over a long period of time, and the renowned researchers who participated in the 1987 article continued this argument by trying to give different definitions. At the end of the 1987 article, the commentator Robert McCall gave a definition of temperament that tries to mix the four approaches:
‘Temperament consists of relatively consistent, basic dispositions inherent in the person that underlie and modulate the expression of activity, reactivity, emotionality, and sociability. Major elements of temperament are present early in life, and those elements are likely to be strongly influenced by biological factors. As development proceeds, the expression of temperament increasingly becomes more influenced by experience and context. (p. 524)’
This meaning articulates countless number of the public assumptions concerning temperament that have accompanied scrutiny for the past twenty-five years. Though, new findings and ways have presented new perspectives on these countless accompanying assumptions. First, not all temperament traits are stable nor main in existence, perhaps because new temperamental arrangements that manipulation or inhibit the extra reactive aspects of temperament appear merely afterward in infancy; as these manipulation arrangements come on-line, they could change the expression and stability of the extra reactive traits (Rothbart, 2011).
Temperament traits come to be extra consistent as regards period, displaying comprehensive stability by at least the preschool years (Roberts & DelVecchio, 2000). Further, due to maturational procedures transpiring amid infancy and afterward childhood, stability frequently could be heterotypic rather than homotypic. For example, discernible exploratory deeds in infancy predicts novelty pursuing in adolescence, perhaps representing
