“…All coefficients, except anxious temperament, were higher than the commonly accepted standard of 0.7: cyclothymic (α = 0.85, ω = 0.87), depressive (α = 0.78, ω = 0.83), irritable (α = 0.79, ω = 0.82), hyperthymic (α = 0.74, ω = 0.79), and anxious (α = 0.65, ω = 0.66). Similar to our study, some TEMPS-A-SV studies of other languages have also reported coefficients that are lower than 0.7 [ 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ]. In addition, as Cronbach’s alpha and McDonald’s omega coefficients are influenced by the number of items within a scale [ 26 , 27 ], α = 0.65 and ω = 0.66 were considered acceptable values, considering the small number of items evaluating anxious temperament (three items).…”

Background and Objectives: The Temperament Evaluation of Memphis, Pisa, Paris and San Diego Autoquestionnaire (TEMPS-A) is designed to assess affective temperaments. The short version of the TEMPS-A (TEMPS-A-SV) has been translated into various languages for use in research and clinical settings. However, no research has been conducted to validate the Korean version of the TEMPS-A-SV in patients with mood disorders. The goal of this study is to evaluate the reliability and validity of the TEMPS-A-SV in Korean mood disorder patients. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional retrospective study, a total of 715 patients (267 patients with major depressive disorder, 94 patients with bipolar disorder I, and 354 patients with bipolar disorder II) completed the Korean TEMPS-A-SV. Cronbach’s alpha and McDonald’s omega were used to assess the reliability. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was also performed. Spearman’s correlation coefficient was used to examine associations between the five temperaments. The difference in five temperament scores between the gender or diagnosis groups was analyzed, and the correlation between five temperament scores and age was tested. Results: The Korean TEMPS-A-SV displayed good internal consistency (α = 0.65–0.88, ω = 0.66–0.9) and significant correlations between the subscales except one (the correlation between hyperthymic and anxious). Using EFA, a two-factor structure was produced: Factor I (cyclothymic, depressive, irritable, and anxious) and Factor II (hyperthymic). The cyclothymic temperament score differed by gender and the anxious temperament score was significantly correlated with age. All the temperaments, except for irritable temperament, showed significant differences between diagnosis groups. Conclusions: Overall, the results show that the TEMPS-A-SV is a reliable and valid measurement that can be used for estimating Koreans’ affective temperaments. However, more research is required on affective temperaments and associated characteristics in people with mood disorders.

“…Akiskal and colleagues created a short, 39-item version of TEMPS-A to make evaluation easier, and with less time and effort. This short version of TEMPS-A has been translated into diverse languages including German (Erfurth et al, 2005), Italian (Preti et al, 2010), Chinese (Lin et al, 2018), and Spanish version (Zapata-Téllez et al, 2021). The TEMPS-A-SV has also demonstrated its efficacy and usefulness as it can be utilized to distinguish between patients with major depression disorder and patients with bipolar disorder (Morishita et al, 2021;Yuan et al, 2015).…”

Background and Objectives: The Temperament Evaluation of Memphis, Pisa, Paris and San Diego Autoquestionnaire (TEMPS-A) is designed to assess affective temperaments. The short version of TEMPS-A (TEMPS-A-SV) was translated into diverse languages for its broad application in research and clinical settings. However, no study was conducted to validate the Korean version of TEMPS-A-SV among patients with mood disorders. The purpose of this study is to examine the reliability and validity of the TEMPS-A-SV in mood disorder patients of the Korean population. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional retrospective study, a total of 715 patients (267 patients with major depressive disorder, 94 patients with bipolar disorder I, and 354 patients with bipolar disorder II) completed the Korean TEMPS-A-SV. Cronbach's alpha and McDonald’s omega was used to assess reliability. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was also performed.

All the temperaments, except for irritable temperament, showed significant differences between diagnosis groups. Conclusions: Overall, our findings indicate that TEMPS-A-SV is a valid and reliable measure of estimating affective temperaments among Koreans. Our results confirm validity of TEMPS-A-SV among Korean patients with mood disorders. However, more study is required on affective temperaments and associated characteristics in people with mood disorders.
