Alexander Thomas and Stella Chess identified three primary behavioral styles in their research on infant temperament: easy, difficult, and slow-to-warm-up. Easy infants are generally adaptable, have a positive mood, and establish regular routines. Difficult infants tend to be more reactive, exhibit negative moods, and may struggle with changes in routine. Slow-to-warm-up infants are initially hesitant or shy but can gradually adapt to new situations with time.
