“…When the effect of gender on the TCI-R scales was examined, it was determined that women's HA, RD, C and ST scores were significantly higher than men. The gender differences we found were similar to those of Giakoumaki et al [20] and Jaksic et al [21]. In particular, the high RD scores of female participants have been reported in many studies.…”

“…Other TCI-R scales showed weaker correlations among themselves and these results are consistent with the TCI-R validation studies in the literature [11,19,20]. In addition, similar to previous reports, there was a negative correlation between NS and age because of the reduced relevance of new stimuli with age [3,11,21]. SD and C showed a positive correlation with age.…”

OBJECTIVE: In this study, we aimed to examine the validity, reliability, and factor structure of the TCI-R in a Turkish sample. METHODS: Participants were 1026 (786 female, 240 male) college students at Hasan Kalyoncu University in Turkey. The study protocol was approved by the local Ethics Committee. Sociodemographic information of the participants was collected and the TCI-R, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and Personality Belief Questionnaire (PBQ) were administered. All statistical analyses were performed by using SPSS version 24 for Windows. RESULTS: The internal consistency was satisfactory for all dimensions (Cronbach alpha coefficients above 0.7). The highest Cronbach alpha was found for Persistence Dimension (0.92) and the lowest Cronbach alpha was found for Novelty Seeking Dimension (0.73) and test-retest correlation coefficients for all dimensions were relatively high and statistically significant. TCI-R temperament and character scales were found significantly correlated with the BDI, the BAI, and the PBQ total scores. A principal-components analysis with Promax rotation yielded four factors with an Eigenvalue greater than one, representing 62.67% of the total variance for temperament dimension. A principal-components analysis with Promax rotation yielded three factors with an Eigenvalue greater than one, representing 56.14% of the total variance for character dimension. The addition of four new subscales to the original scale for Persistence has produced a very reliable dimension in the TCI-R with the loadings ranging from 0.82 to 0.86. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggested that Turkish TCI-R was a valid and reliable tool with a robust factorial structure for further use in the assessing of personality psychopathology in clinical populations in Turkey.

“…It comprises 240 items rated on a 5-point Likert scale, ranging from 1 (definitely false) to 5 (definitely true). The Croatian adaptation of the TCI-R yielded adequate psychometric properties (internal consistencies, factorial and concurrent validity) in a large sample of psychiatric outpatients (Jaksic et al 2015b). In the present study, Cronbach's alpha coefficients for the seven subscales ranged from 0.71 to 0.89.…”

Comorbid Depression and Suicide Ideation in Patients With Combat-Related Ptsd: The Role of Temperament, Character, and Trait Impulsivity

Background: War veterans with PTSD have a high chance of developing major depressive disorder (MDD) at some point, while they can also exhibit increased suicidal tendencies. The primary goal of this research was to investigate whether personality dimensions, including temperament, character, and trait impulsivity, were associated with comorbid MDD, as well as with suicidal ideation in psychiatric patients suffering from combat-related PTSD.

“…The temperament and character inventory (TCI) has different age-appropriate measures, including for pre-schoolers (parent and teacher reports), school-children (teacher and parent reports), adolescents (junior temperament and character inventory), and adults (temperament and character inventory-revised (TCI-R)). Reflecting the importance of Cloninger’s psychobiological model of personality, its assessment instrument (the TCI) has been adapted to over 24 diverse societies including Spain (Gutiérrez-Zotes et al., 2004; Gutiérrez-Zotes, Cortés, Valero, Peña, & Labad, 2005; Gutiérrez-Zotes et al., 2015), France (Pelissolo et al., 2005), Belgium (Hansenne, Delhez, & Cloninger, 2005), Italy (Fossati et al., 2007; Vespa et al., 2015), Brazil (Gonçalves & Cloninger, 2010), Croatia (Jaksic et al., 2015), Greece (Fountoulakis et al., 2015; Giakoumaki et al., 2016), Serbia (Dzamonja-Ignjatovic, Svrakic, Svrakic, Jovanovic, & Cloninger, 2010), and Israel (Zohar & Cloninger, 2011). Age-appropriate versions of the TCI have also been tested in other societies (e.g., Melegari et al., 2014; Moreira et al., 2012).…”

Cloninger's psychobiological model of personality integrates contributions from behavioral genetics, neurobiology, and psychology in the description of the human personality. The temperament and character inventory (TCI) is its assessment instrument. The Brazilian Portuguese version of the TCI has shown good psychometric properties. However, Portuguese spoken in Brazil presents marked and substantial differences to that spoken in Portugal, and no study has yet described the psychometrics of the European Portuguese version. The objective of this study was thus to describe the psychometric properties of the European Portuguese adult version of the TCI (the temperament and character inventory-revised (TCI-R)). This study involved 1400 Portuguese adult participants. The factorial structure of the European Portuguese version was tested using four methods: exploratory factor analysis, orthogonal procrustes rotation analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and exploratory structural equation modeling. The integration of data coming from these methods suggested that the Portuguese version of the TCI-R presented good structural validity (as revealed by the emergence of the temperament and character structures predicted by theory) and high levels of congruence between the American and the Portuguese versions. An improvement in the goodness of fit of the models for the Portuguese population was achieved by using exploratory structural equation modeling over confirmatory factor analysis. Although some facets registered questionable consistency, all dimensions had acceptable to good consistency (all ≥ .79). These results confirm the validity of the Portuguese TCI-R and its adequacy for use in European Portuguese samples.
