 Earliest indications of mental health are provided by maternal ratings of shyness and night-time sleep disturbance when study members were aged six years.  At age nine years, mothers were asked about difficulties in the study member's relations with siblings and children at school.  When study members were aged 11 years mothers were asked about presence or absence of habits (thumb sucking, nail biting, etc.) and again about sleep disturbance. \\ Earliest indications of mental health are provided by maternal ratings of shyness and night-time sleep disturbance when study members were aged six years.  At age nine years, mothers were asked about difficulties in the study member's relations with siblings and children at school.  When study members were aged 11 years mothers were asked about presence or absence of habits (thumb sucking, nail biting, etc.) and again about sleep disturbance. \\

 Personality measures were obtained by self-completed questionnaire when study members were aged 13 and 16 years.  At the former age the **Pintner Aspects of Personality Inventory**(( (Pintner & Forlano, 1938, 1939; Pintner, Loftus, & Alster, 1937) )) was used, which provides a measure of the child’s personality along the dimensions of neuroticism and extroversion/introversion. The measure was originally validated by comparing scores with the outstanding characteristics of children reported by their teachers(( (Pintner et al., 1939) )).  At age 16 years study members answered six extroversion (//E//) and six neuroticism (//N//) items of the short **Maudsley Personality Inventory** (( (MPI; Eysenck, 1958) )).  The //E// items refer to sociability, energy and activity orientation, and the //N// items address mood and distractibility. The MPI was administered again when study members were aged 26 years (see [[MentalHealthandWellbeing|Adult Mental Health and Wellbeing]]). \\ Personality measures were obtained by self-completed questionnaire when study members were aged 13 and 16 years.  At the former age the **Pintner Aspects of Personality Inventory**(( (Pintner & Forlano, 1938, 1939; Pintner, Loftus, & Alster, 1937) )) was used, which provides a measure of the child’s personality along the dimensions of neuroticism and extroversion/introversion.
