Personal Research Journey

The topic I chose is how the personality of a child caregiver influences a child's social emotion development. Children who enrolled in a childcare center spent their most day time with their teachers and peers. During the day time, I have seen that children would like to play nicely with their peers when their teachers are supportive, warm heart, soft and tender. In contrast, children would argue with each other and fight for the "right" when their teachers are controllable, directive, and "bossy". The fact is that children with changeling behavior in the "bossy" class  are  more than the supportive class. This personality is regardless how high the teacher has the child education degree. Would the personality of a teacher affects the social development of a child? I am interesting in finding out. I searched on this topic and found rare research on the topic. However, as a topic of simulation, I would try it.

I only find two articles related on the topic that I would like to study. One is Lisonbee, (2008). "Children’s cortisol and the quality of teacher–child relationships in child care."  The study supports "problematic relationships may affect children’s physiological functioning both by failing to buffer the potential stress of the classroom and by causing anxiety for the child during teacher – child interactions". The other is Lee, (1994). "Personality characteristics of very desirable and undesirable childcare workers in a residential setting. " I have not gotten the full text of the article. However, I am interesting in the "Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire (16 PF) " using in the article, and am thinking to have a librarian to help to scan it. Also, I would like my colleagues to support me to find more information related this topic as well as to suggest opinion on the topic. Thanks in advance.
