“…and some items loaded on more than one factors to various degrees [4]. Yet, despite the number and content of the items in some short versions varied, the five-factor structure as described above was observed in different cultures including the Chinese [5,[15][16][17].…”

We previously validated the 110-item Chinese TEMPS-A in a relatively large Chinese population, on the basis of which this study was aimed at validating a short Chinese TEMPS-A in order to facilitate its wide use in time-limited settings such as outpatient clinics. Method: We extracted 63 items from the 110-item TEMPS-A with factor loading ≧0.35. The reconstructed 63-item Chinese TEMPS-A was administered to 879 clinically-well Chinese Han population aged 16-60 years without a history of mental disorders. Results: A principal component analysis with Varimax rotation found that 45 out of the 63 items loaded onto five factors, namely cyclothymic, hyperthymic, anxious, irritable, and depressive factors. The Cronbach alphas coefficients were 0.86 (cyclothymic), 0.80 (hyperthymic), 0.57 (anxious), 0.55 (irritable), and 0.62 (depressive). Most of the affective temperaments were significantly correlated with one another. The males scored significantly higher on the hyperthymic and irritable subscales than did the females. Finally, the frequency of the dominant temperaments (defined as two standard deviations above the mean) was the highest for the depressive temperament (6.0%), followed by the cyclothymic, anxious (4.2%), irritable (2.8%), and hyperthymic (0%) temperaments. Conclusions: Our data suggest that the 45-item Chinese TEMPS-A is psychometrically comparable to its full version. Further refinement (i.e combining all the somatic symptom items) warrants future investigation.

“…7 A recent metaanalysis of the TEMPS-A by Solmi et al 8 showed that the various types of affective temperament are on the continuum, with increasing scores from healthy subjects to BD patients. Our group studied a relationship between circadian clock gene polymorphisms and temperaments as assessed by the TEMPS-A.…”

Objective: To assess the relationship of biological rhythms, evaluated by the Biological Rhythms Interview of Assessment in Neuropsychiatry (BRIAN), with affective temperaments and schizotypy. Methods: The BRIAN assessment, along with the Temperament Evaluation of Memphis, Pisa, Paris, and San Diego-Autoquestionnaire (TEMPS-A) and the Oxford-Liverpool Inventory for Feelings and Experiences (O-LIFE), was administered to 54 patients with remitted bipolar disorder (BD) and 54 healthy control (HC) subjects. Results: The TEMPS-A cyclothymic temperament correlated positively and the hyperthymic temperament correlated negatively with BRIAN scores in both the BD and HC groups, although the correlation was stronger in BD subjects. Depressive temperament was associated with BRIAN scores in BD but not in HC; conversely, the irritable temperament was associated with BRIAN scores in HC, but not in BD. Several positive correlations between BRIAN scores and the schizotypal dimensions of the O-LIFE were observed in both BD and HC subjects, especially with cognitive disorganization and less so with unusual experiences and impulsive nonconformity. A correlation with introversion/ anhedonia was found only in BD subjects. Conclusion: Cyclothymic and depressive temperaments predispose to disturbances of biological rhythms in BD, while a hyperthymic temperament can be protective. Similar predispositions were also found for all schizotypal dimensions, mostly for cognitive disorganization.

“…This interpretation is further supported by the fact that the hyperthymic temperament was negatively associated with neuroticism, which is a personality dimension consistently associated with psychopathology (Jeronimus et al, 2016). In addition, a recent meta-analysis indicates that hyperthymic temperament scores were higher in healthy controls compared to patients with mood disorder on a continuum (Solmi et al, 2016).…”

“…Furthermore, it is worthy to note that that there are persuasive arguments in the literature against arbitrarily dichotomizing measures of continuous constructs (MacCallum et al, 2002). A recent systematic review and meta-analysis indicated that scores of some TEMPS-derived affective temperaments may occur on a continuum or gradient in individuals with major depressive disorder (MDD), bipolar disorder (BD), and healthy controls (Solmi et al, 2016). A dimensional approach for the TEMPS was further supported by genomewide association study that found a significant robust genome-wide association for the irritable temperament in a large sample with BD (Greenwood et al, 2012).…”
