“…The Strelau Temperament Inventory (STI) in its original version (Strelau, Pavlovian constructs-strength of excitation, strength of inhibition and mobility of nervous processes-which were only the starting point for the RTT. To underline the fact that the STI-R measures the Pavlovian properties and not the traits postulated by the RTT, Strelau and Angleitner (1994) renamed this inventory the Pavlovian Temperament Survey (PTS).…”

A psychometric study has been conducted with the aim of testing the validity of the Formal Characteristics of Behaviour-Temperament Inventory (FCB-TI). FCB-TI has been constructed to measure six temperament traits according to the Regulative Theory of Temperament (RTT): Briskness, Perseverance (referring to the temporal aspect of behavior), Sensory Sensitivity, Emotional Reactivity, Endurance, and Activity (referring to the energetic characteristics of behaviour) . These traits have been compared with other temperament as well as personality dimensions. The following measures were used: PTS, EAS-TS, DOTS-R, EPQ-R, SSS-V, 16PF, and NEO-FFI. The study was conducted on samples consisting of over 1500 subjects with satisfactory balanced gender ratio (about 50 per cent), and with a broad range of age (from 15 to 77 years), representing a variety of professions and educational levels. The correlational and factor analytic findings are presented; these show high theoretical validity of the FCB-TI scales, except the Sensory Sensitivity scale. In the discussion some conclusions concerning the revision of the structure of temperament have been suggested. 1972; 1983) and in a revised form (STI-R) developed by Strelau, Angleitner, Bantelmann and Ruch (1990a; Ruch, Angleitner and Strelau, 1991) were used as the main methods by means of which the basic assumptions of the RTT were examined. However, these inventories were constructed with the purpose of measuring the

“…Again, average scores of Croatian participants on scales of PTS (Table 1) are comparable to values obtained on construction samples for other S. Tatalović Vorkapić, I. Lučev, and M. Tadinac to 2.86 for SE, from 2.08 to 3.03 for SI and from 2.21 to 2.99 for MO scale (Bucik, 2002;Newberry et al, 1997;Strelau et al, 1999). One of the main issues with cross−cultural studies on personality and temperament concerns the equivalence of the constructs measured in different cultures (Strelau & Angleitner, 1994). Similar psychometric properties that are found for different language versions of PTS and comparable correlations between scales indicate that parallel versions of PTS measure universal temperamental traits the way original authors of this instrument intended.…”

Abstract:The aim of this study was to examine the construct validity of Pavlovian Temperament Survey (PTS) by determining the relationship between three Strelau´s dimensions of temperament (strength of excitation, strength of inhibition, mobility) and basic dimensions of personality as were defined by Eysenck and in the five-factor model of personality. It was expected that strength of excitation and mobility would have significant positive correlations with extraversion and negative correlations with neuroticism, while strength of inhibition would show significant negative correlations with neuroticism. Within two studies (N 1 = 74 female students, M age = 22; N 2 = 54 female students, M age = 20), Croatian version of PTS, Five−Factor Nonverbal Personality Questionnaire FF−NPQ, and Eysenck's Personality Questionnaire EPQ R/A were used. The reliability coefficients for all three instruments were satisfactory, although not very high. Coefficients of correlation determined in the first study were not entirely in agreement with either theoretical expectations or empirical results of other authors, probably due to small sample size. However, the results of the second study were in accord with the expected pattern of significant correlations and that could be considered an indicator of good construct validity of PTS. Since this was a preliminary study the results provide only a general insight into the research aim, and represent a good starting point for future validation studies of the Croatian version of PTS. Povzetek: Namen raziskave je bil oceniti konstruktno veljavnost hrvaške različice Vprašalnika temperamenta po Pavlovu (VTP), in sicer s preučitvijo odnosa med tremi dimenzijami temperamenta in dimenzijami osebnosti, kot jih je definiral Eysenck, ter dimenzijah osebnosti po modelu velikih pet. Na osnovi teorije smo pričakovali, da bosta moč ekscitacije in mobilnost imeli pozitivni korelaciji z ekstravertnostjo ter negativne korelacije z nevroticizmom, medtem ko naj bi dosežek na lestvici moč inhibicije negativno koreliral z nevroticizmom. V prvi raziskavi je sodelovalo 74 študentk (povprečna starost je znašala 22 let), v drugi raziskavi pa 54 študentk (povprečna starost je znašala 20 let). Poleg hrvaške različice VTP so udeleženke izpolnile tudi pet-faktorski neverbalni vprašalnik osebnosti (FF-NPQ) ter Eysenckov vprašalnik osebnosti (EPQ-R/A). Zanesljivost lestvic vseh uporabljenih inštrumentov je bila sprejemljiva. Korelacije med dimenzijami temperamenta in osebnosti v prvi raziskavi se v večini primerov niso prilegale teoretsko osnovanim pričakovanjem in rezultatom sorodnih raziskav. Ta rezultat je najverjetneje posledica majhnosti uporabljenega vzorca. V drugi raziskavi je vzorec korelacij ustrezal pričakovanjem, kar kaže na sprejemljivo konstruktno veljavnost hrvaške različice VTP. Pričujoča raziskava je preliminarne narave, zato rezultati predstavljajo zgolj dobro izhodišče za prihodnje validacisjke raziskave hrvašle različice VPT.Ključne beside: konstruktna veljavnost, Vprašalnika temperamenta po Pavlov...

“…Todas facetas e seus respectivos fatores continuaram presentes na escala, algumas com mais outras com menos itens. A permanência de números diferenciados de itens nas facetas e fatores é um aspecto esperado conforme literatura deste instrumento (Strelau, 1998;Strelau & Angleitner, 1994 Strelau & cols., 1999), uma vez que a PTS foi construída com um pool de 252 itens para que, por meio de elaborados orocedimentos psicométricos, sejam selecionados os itens mais representativos para a cultura na qual a escala está sendo adaptada e estudada.…”

“…A PTS, originou-se do Strelau Temperament Inventory STI construído por Strelau em 1969 e utilizado até o início da década de 1990. Neste período, as baixas qualidades psicométricas apresentadas pelo STI, e a convicção de que as características de temperamento investigadas por Pavlov por meio de sua tipologia de sistema nervoso, são constructos cientificamente atrativos e passíveis de estudo, conduziram Strelau, Angleitner, Batelman e Ruch a reverem e reformularem os itens, renomeando o instrumento de Pavlovian Temperament Survey, PTS (Strelau, 1998;Strelau & Angleitner, 1994;Strelau & cols., 1999).…”

“…O enfoque emic na construção da escala, consistiu em selecionar por meio de elaborados procedimentos psicométricos, os itens mais representativos para cada cultura. Assim, para cada linguagem (cultura), o número e o tipo de itens pode variar (Strelau, 1998;Strelau & Angleitner, 1994). Esta estratégia foi aplicada inicialmente para a construção da escala nas versões (países) alemã (Alemanha) e polonesa (Polônia), as quais serviram de base para a versão inglesa (Grã Bretanha e Estados Unidos) estendendo-se posteriormente para as versões da: Austrália, Bélgica, Brasil, Bulgária, Holanda, Grécia, Hungria, Itália, Japão, Coréia, Romênia, Rússia e Espanha.…”

Resumo A Pavlovian Temperament Survey-PTS foi desenvolvida para avaliar a expressão comportamental das propriedades do Sistema Nervoso Central. Este estudo teve como objetivo iniciar o processo de aferição e redução de itens da PTS, versão 7 a 14 anos. Participaram da amostra 124 sujeitos de 7 a 14 anos, de ambos os sexos, os quais tiveram suas características temperamentais avaliadas pela PTS. O processo de redução e aferição constou de duas etapas: análise da correlação item total e análise fatorial exploratória. Resultados obtidos indicaram a permanência de 107 itens do total de 252 que inicialmente compunham a escala: 35 itens em FE (38,8%), 42 em FI (50%) e 30 em MO (38,4%). Novos estudos se fazem necessários para uma melhor adequação dos itens ao contexto brasileiro, com ampliação da amostra para dar continuidade ao processo de aferição e redução de itens da PTS versão 7 a 14 anos. Palavras-chave: Pavlovian Temperament Survey; temperamento; avaliação psicológica.
