Australian Temperament Project (ATP)
The Australian Temperament Project (ATP) is one of Australia’s oldest longitudinal studies of social-emotional development that has followed a representative sample of over 2000 infants and their parents from 4 months (1983) to almost 40 years of age.
The study has collected detailed age-appropriate survey data on temperament, internalising (depression/anxiety), externalising (violence and addiction) and positive developmental outcomes over 16 waves. Parents, infant welfare nurses, teachers and young people (from 11-12 years) completed questionnaires at relevant time points. Parents (Generation 1) and their offspring (Generation 2) have now been followed over 3 decades (16 waves) from 4-8 months into the 30s.
Offspring of these original ATP participants were then recruited as part of the ATP Generation 3 Study. Bringing together data across three generations, the ATP now provides a rare opportunity to address key questions about how the experiences of one generation may affect the next, from grandparent to parent to child.
