Purposes: The stability of mastery motivation (MM) and influences of home environment on MM are not clear. Purposes of this study in children were：1) to investigate the stability of MM between 2-yr- and 3-yr-of-age for two genders; 2) to compare predictions of 6-mo’s home environment with 2-yr’s on 2-yr mastery motivation for two genders and two activity levels of temperament. Methods: 83 children developing typically followed in Taipei Birth Panel Study from infants to 2- and 3-yr old (boys 52%) were selected for data analysis. MMs at 2- and 3-yr were measured by the Dimension of Mastery Questionnaire-17th-Chinese version (DMQ-17-C), home environment at 6-mo and 2-yr by Infant and Toddler Home Observation for Measuring Environment Inventory- Chinese version (IT-HOME-C), and activity levels at 4-mo by the Chinese Toddler Temperament Scale. Results: Total social persistence and Total persistence scores of DMQ-17-C at 2-yr were significantly correlated with DMQ-17-C at 3-year. Moreover, girls’ stability of MM was higher than boys’. Only 6-mo IT-HOME-C scores significantly predicted Total social persistence of 2-yr DMQ-17-C for children with lower activity level, not 2-yr IT-HOME-C. The prediction of total IT-HOME-C scores of two ages for Total persistence scores of DMQ-17-C were not significant for both genders. Conclusion: The stability of MM from 2-yr to 3-yr was moderate and girls’ was more stable than boys’. The influences of social environment on MM were different at different ages and different activity levels of toddlers. To promote MM of toddlers, caregivers might understand children’s characteristics better and interact with them accordingly.
