“…When it comes to temperamental traits, we based our research on the Regulative Theory of Temperament (RTT; Strelau, 1993Strelau, , 1996Strelau, , 1998. According to this theory, temperament is defined as basic, primarily biologically determined and relatively stable personality traits which apply to the formal, energetic, and temporal, characteristics of reactions and behavior.…”

“…So, the same temperamental profile (low briskness, sensory sensitivity, endurance and activity, high emotional reactivity, and perseverance) that was related with lower frequency of risky behaviours was also related to lower frequency of health-promoting behaviours. While it is difficult to provide an explanation of this result, it is probable that such factors as neuroticism and anxiousness were responsible because such features are related to high emotional reactivity (Strelau, 1993).…”

“…Temperamental traits were measured with the FCB-TI inventory developed by Strelau andZawadzki (1995, 1993). This is a self-report scale containing 120 items with a yes/no answer format measuring six temperamental traits: briskness, perseverance, sensory sensitivity, emotional reactivity, endurance, and activity.…”

While temperamental traits have been shown to be an important predictor of risk behaviour, much less attention has been paid to health-promoting behaviour. The concept of temperamental profiles as individual compositions of traits allows the formulation of predictions concerning differences in such behaviours. This study aimed to find differences in engaging in risk and health-promoting behaviours in adolescents with different temperamental profiles that represented individuals differing in stimulation regulation. methodsA group of 345 adolescents, 196 female and 149 male aged 18-19 years, completed questionnaires measuring engagement in risk and health-promoting behaviours as well as temperamental traits. Participants were then assigned by means of cluster analysis to four groups with different temperamental trait profiles. Aggregated scores of risk and health behaviours were used based on the frequency of occurrence. resultsAdolescents characterised by a non-resilient temperamental profile engaged both in risk and health-promoting behaviours less frequently than those characterised by other profiles. Gender-related differences in health promoting behaviours were also found. Female participants reported engaging in health-promoting behaviours more frequently than male participants.

“…It is based on the regulative theory of temperament formulated by Strelau and inspired by Hebb's concept of the optimal level of arousal [7,8]. According to this theory, temperament refers to basic, relatively stable personality traits, which are manifested in the formal aspects of reactions and behaviour (energetic and temporal characteristics).…”
