“…Notably, multivariate analyses underscore hyperthymic temperament as a significant risk factor for M-PO. These findings align with initial observations indicating a positive correlation between the number of manic episodes in BD and hyperthymic temperament, while depressive episodes were linked to dysthymic temperament [25]. Further studies have substantiated this relationship, particularly within the framework of the "predominant polarity" construct developed by Eduard Vieta's group [27].…”

“…The instrument showed an excellent internal consistency, with Cronbach's α ranging from 0.76 for the dysthymic to 0.88 for the cyclothymic temperament in the same study. In another study with the short version, Cronbach's α was 0.72 for the cyclothymic, 0.71 for the depressive, 0.69 for the irritable, 0.54 for the hyperthymic, and 0.62 for the anxious temperament, while for the entire construct it was 0.80 [25]. For the TEMPS-A-SV, Cronbach's α was 0.79 (95% Confidence Intervals (C.I.s) from 0.76 to 0.82) for the cyclothymic, 0.72 (95% C.I.s from 0.68 to 0.76) for the depressive, 0.72 (95% C.I.s from 0.68 to 0.76) for the irritable, 0.75 (95% C.I.s from 0.71 to 0.78) for the hyperthymic, and 0.71 (95% C.I.s from 0.66 to 0.75) for the anxious temperament [22].…”

(1) Background: Bipolar disorder (BD) is divided into type I (BD-I) and type II (BD-II). Polarity at onset (PO) is a proposal to specify the clinical course of BD, based on the type of the first episode at disorder onset—depressive (D-PO) or manic (M-PO). At the same time, affective temperaments represent preexisting variants of the spectrum of affective disorders. Our objectives were to investigate the hypothesis that temperament may exert an influence on PO, and that this factor can serve as an indicator of the forthcoming course of the disorder, carrying significant therapeutic implications. (2) Methods: We included 191 patients with BD and examined clinical variables and temperament; the latter was assessed using the short version of the Temperament Evaluation of Memphis, Pisa, Paris, and San Diego—Auto-questionnaire (TEMPS-A-39-SV). We tested the associations between these variables and PO using standard univariate/bivariate methods followed by multivariate logistic regression models. (3) Results: 52.9% of the sample had D-PO and 47.1% had M-PO. D-PO and M-PO patients scored higher for dysthymic and hyperthymic temperaments, respectively (p < 0.001). Also, they differed in BD subtypes, age at first affective episode, illness duration, number of depressive episodes, seasonality, suicide risk, substance use, lithium, and benzodiazepine use (p < 0.05). Only BD-II and age at first depressive episode were predictors of D-PO, whereas BD-I, age at first manic/hypomanic episode, and hyperthymic temperament were predictors of M-PO (p < 0.01). (4) Conclusions: Our findings point to the importance of carefully assessing temperament and PO in patients with BD, to better predict the clinical course and tailor therapeutic interventions to individual patients’ needs.

“…Depression, an increasingly common mental health issue that affects people of all ages, has a signi cant in uence on physical, behavioural, and emotional well-being (Gilbert, 2016). Depression is a enduring emotional state marked by persistent symptoms, a melancholic mood, dysthymic features, and a natural inclination towards a lower mood (Nabizadehchianeh et al, 2023). According to Hasin et al (2018), the occurrence of depression in the United States is consistent with global data from the World Health Organisation, which shows that it affects around 8% of the global population (Hasin et al, 2018).…”

Background The effectiveness of regular physical activity as a therapeutic intervention in modern medicine is widely recognized, making it a potential option for those seeking lifestyle modifications to treat mood disorders. Thus, the goal of this study was to examine the impact of Tai Chi Chuan exercise on depression, sleep quality, and mental well-being. Methods The study used an experimental design, including pre- and post-test assessments, and consisted of both experimental and control groups. The study included male individuals diagnosed with depression who were selected from healthcare centers in Sardasht city during the year 2019. The study involved 30 male individuals with depression symptoms, divided into two groups: the experimental group, which completed 36 Tai Chi Chuan training sessions, and the control group, which did not receive any treatment. The participants completed demographic data collection forms and responded to multiple surveys. The data was analyzed using SPSS-26 software, employing both univariate and multivariate methodologies, and the mean and standard deviations of age were 27.40 (SD = 4.20) and 30.13 (SD = 4.19) respectively. Results The results of the study revealed that both univariate and multivariate analyses of covariance provided evidence supporting the notion that engaging in Tai Chi Chuan exercises led to enhancements in sleep quality and mental health among participants in the experimental group. Furthermore, these enhancements were correlated with a decrease in depressive symptoms. Conclusion In conclusion, participation in Tai Chi activities holds the potential to enhance emotional well-being, sleep patterns, and overall mental health in men experiencing depression.

“…Cultural and linguistic differences can impact the interpretation and expression of mood and temperament, potentially affecting the validity of assessment tools ( 28 , 29 ). A shortened version of the TEMPS-A has been translated and validated in Iran ( 30 , 31 ), but the full version has not been adapted for use in the country. Iran is in need of assessment tools that are accurate and culturally appropriate to address the high rates of mood disorders in the population.…”

Objective: The Temperament Evaluation of Memphis, Pisa, Paris, and San Diego – Auto-questionnaire (TEMPS-A) assesses five affective temperaments and has been translated into 32 languages. A 35-item short version is available in Persian, but the complete version is not yet translated. This study aimed to assess the validity and reliability of the complete Persian version of the TEMPS-A in an Iranian population. Method: This descriptive study translated the TEMPS-A questionnaire from English to Persian using a standard forward-backward method. The translation was evaluated for face and content validity by 10 psychiatry specialists, with quantitative content validity assessed through content validity ratio (CVR) and content validity index (CVI) calculations. The Persian TEMPS-A was completed twice, with a two-week interval, by 30 individuals out of the 319 medical staff of Imam Hossein Hospital in Tehran, Iran, who participated in the study, and its reliability was evaluated using Cronbach's alpha. The questionnaire was then distributed to the entire sample (n = 319) for the analysis of temperament frequencies and statistical indices by a statistician. Results: The Persian version of the TEMPS-A, consisting of 110 items across five factors (depressive, cyclothymic, hyperthymic, irritable, and anxious), demonstrated excellent reliability with Cronbach’s alpha values of 0.910, 0.909, 0.911, 0.910, and 0.909, respectively. The questions related to cyclothymic and hyperthymic temperaments exhibited the highest and lowest correlation coefficients with the general scale, respectively. Most subscales in the Persian TEMPS-A version showed correlation coefficients ranging from 0.28 to 0.68. An ANOVA with Cochrane's test revealed a significant difference in the mean scores of the questionnaire items (P < 0.001), with a grand mean score of 1.73 across all questions. Conclusion: The Persian version of the TEMPS-A, consisting of 110 items, showed good internal consistency and a strong correlation with the original version. This suggests that it is suitable for use in temperament studies among the Iranian population.
