Hey, Scott.
I didn't read the abstracts, and wasn't reacting to them, I was reacting to the idea of calling the avoidance a "behavior problem"
When a researcher uses the word "temperament", I immediately surmise an assumption of some amount of biological basis. I don't know if I am right to do so, but that is one of the things the word "temperament" suggests to me. Probably from hearing about the famous Chess and Thomas studies on different temperaments of infants.
Anyway, you bring up some thoughtful questions. And I like that you made extra effort to present them in a way that would help it to be read as friendly questions.
