The links between Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) and temperament received relatively little research attention, in spite of their clinical and social relevance. Children with RAD sustain disproportionate burdens of early adversity related to their caregiving environment. However, there seem to be important individual differences in susceptibility to adversity, since only a small number of children show signs of RAD. Based on the work of Zeanah and Fox, this review aims to bring new insights to this relevant clinical issue in light of recent research. A differential susceptibility hypothesis will be considered as a promising and innovative approach toward a further understanding of the links between temperament and RAD.

尽管有临床和社会相关性，但反应性依恋障碍（RAD）与气质之间的联系却很少受到研究关注。患有RAD的儿童在与其照顾环境有关的早期逆境中承受着不成比例的负担。但是，逆境的敏感性似乎存在重要的个体差异，因为只有少数儿童表现出RAD征兆。基于Zeanah和Fox的工作，本综述旨在根据最新研究为该相关临床问题带来新见解。差异磁化率假设将被认为是一种有前途的创新方法，可用于进一步了解气质与RAD之间的联系。
