“…Evidence on concurrent validity and reliability of the TEMPS-A was provided in several countries (Akiskal and Akiskal, 2005a;Borkowska et al, 2010;Dolenc et al, 2013;Lin et al, 2013;Fountoulakis et al, 2014). Cronbach's alpha coefficients in the original validation study were, by subscale: 0.91 (cyclothymic), 0.81 (depressive), 0.77 (irritable), 0.76 (hyperthymic), and 0.67 (anxious) .…”

“…From an epidemiological point of view, the hypothesis of an adaptive side of hyperactivity may explain how the prevalence of mood disorders in Western society might be indeed elevated [8,9] although cross-national differences in prevalence of mental disorders are far from being settled as emerged from the World Mental Health Survey Initiative on which some of us are working for a long time [10]. Nevertheless, the interpretation of bipolar disorders in the evolutionary key, it might be useful to counter the stigmatizing vision of mood disorders and bipolar disorders in particular.…”

Affective temperaments are regarded as potential precursors of bipolar disorder. The modern concept of affective temperaments was reorganized by Akiskal and colleagues, 1 and consists of five distinct affective temperaments (depressive, cyclothymic, hyperthymic, irritable, and anxious). Of these affective temperaments, the cyclothymic temperament and the hyperthymic temperament are especially presumed to have some common psychopathology with bipolar disorders. A cyclothymic temperament is displayed as rapid fluctuations in mood and emotional instability, whereas a hyperthymic temperament is displayed as socially extroversion, a high-energy level, emotional intensity, and little need for sleep. These temperaments exist in various levels even in healthy people. DeGeorge and Objectives: Five affective temperaments are regarded as potential precursors of bipolar disorder. These are depressive, cyclothymic, hyperthymic, irritable, and anxious temperaments. However, the neural substrates underlying these temperaments have not been identified. The aim of this study was to determine whether these temperaments are associated with specific neural substrates related to the brain white matter integrity in healthy participants. Methods:We conducted a cross-sectional neuroimaging study of 71 healthy participants (38 males and 33 females) with affective temperaments. All participants screened for past and present psychiatric disorders. The scores of the five affective temperaments were measured by the temperament scale of Memphis, Pisa, Paris, and San Diego-autoquestionnaire. We analyzed the association between the fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD) of the brain white matter and these affective temperaments using tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS). Results:The cyclothymic temperament score had a significant positive association with the FA and a significant negative association with the MD in the white matter in the right frontal part of brain. The hyperthymic temperament score was negatively associated with the MD in a wide area of the brain white matter. The anxious temperament score was positively associated with the FA in the bilateral frontal, temporal, and parietal regions of the brain white matter. The depressive and irritable temperament scores were not associated with either the FA or the MD. Conclusion:The present findings suggest that cyclothymic, hyperthymic, and anxious temperaments are associated with brain white matter integrity in healthy participants.
