Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Scott's son displays characteristics of a slow-to-warm-up temperament, which means they initially have a low activity level and tend to withdraw from new people or situations. However, they can adjust and warm up to new people after repeated exposure. This is distinct from a difficult temperament, which involves negative reactions to new stimuli and a more intense, irritable mood.
