Temperament refers to our inborn personality traits, which are genetic in nature. Gender is the range of characteristics pertaining to, and differentiating between, masculinity and femininity. Depending on the context, these characteristics may include biological sex, sex-based social structures, or gender identity.

A sample of 296 pairs of twins in the age group for the study was chosen. Temperament was taken as dependent variable and gender was taken as independent variable. The Malhotra Temperament Schedule (MTS) developed by Malhotra and Malhotra (1988) was used to assess child’s temperament.
