In 1977, Alexander Thomas and Stella Chess conducted a now classic study of babies and found that the majority of babies can be classified according to four different temperament types.The first type includes the easy babies .These infants, which account for about 40 percent of babies, display mostly positive moods and adapt well to new situations.They also have regular eating, sleeping, and elimination habits.Difficult babies are the second type.About 10 percent of infants get cranky easily and are stressed by new situations.These babies tend to have irregular body functions.The third type of baby is the slow-to-warm-up baby .These children, which account for about 15 percent of babies, are similar to difficult babies in that they are moody and do not adapt well to new stimuli.However, their reactions are less extreme than those of difficult babies.One last category includes the 35 percent of babies who do not fall neatly into any of the first three groups.Thomas and Chess classified this group as the mixed-pattern babies .
