“…The Spanish version was analyzed only on a sample of psychiatric patients (Gutierrez et al, 2001). The Finnish study considered a sample of participants born in the same year but it confi rmed sex differences in TCI scores (Miettunen et al, 2004). The study of the Taiwan sample confi rmed evident differences between males and females and correlation of NS and HA with age (Chen et al, 2002).…”

“…This may be due to variation in sample selection, the small number of subjects in many of the studies, and other issues related to study design. Many of the studies included also used TPQ as the assessment instrument, and although the conversion into TCI scores was based on Finnish normative data [27,28], the different structures of the two scales as regards RD may explain some of the heterogeneity found, especially between SAD and OCD, but not between PD studies. The finding is even more likely due to the wide individual variation in the assessment of temperament regarding separate dimensions and their subscales, as well as the wide individual variation in anxiety disorder symptomatology.…”

“…We conducted meta-analyses for each temperament dimension (NS, HA, RD and persistence) in PD, SAD and OCD studies, which comprised at least 5 studies with a control group and including the available TCI or TPQ data (tables 1, 2, 3, 4, 5). The TPQ dimensional scores were converted into TCI scores according to the results from Finnish normative data [27,28] and the reported persistence subscale scores were used in analyses with TPQ studies. The meta-analyses were calculated with MIX Pro software (version 2.0 [29]) using the fixed effects model and inverse variance as a weighting method, and using age as a covariate.…”

Background: The aims of the present study were to explore whether symptoms in different anxiety disorders are associated with Cloninger's model temperament dimensions novelty seeking (NS), harm avoidance (HA), reward dependence and persistence compared with control subjects in clinical samples of adults or late adolescents. Method: Literature search in the following databases: Cochrane Library, PubMed (Medline), Web of Science, Psycinfo and PsycArticles. Systematic review, grading the level of evidence and meta-analysis for each disorder by comparing the temperament dimension scores between patient and control samples in single studies. Results: A total of 40 papers fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Meta-analyses were conducted on a total of 24 studies focusing on panic disorder (PD), social anxiety disorder (SAD) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The primary finding was a constant and clinically marked positive association between the HA temperament dimension and symptoms of PD, SAD and OCD, with a most marked effect in SAD, and a moderate effect in OCD and PD. Second, less marked and clinically marginal associations between NS score and SAD and OCD (negative associations), but no associations with PD were observed. The meta-analyses revealed heterogeneity between the results of individual studies, especially in the analyses including SAD and OCD. Conclusions: PD, SAD and OCD share a marked and state-dependent avoidant behavioral pattern, which is common for all anxiety disorders. However, PD showed a different pattern of arousal to novel stimuli from that of SAD and OCD. The findings are state dependent and based on cross-sectional studies.

“…However, we can take an additional step to examine the effect of personality on stock market participation. Gender is known to affect personality (see Miettunen et al (2004) for an example of the difference in personality traits between genders in NFBC1966)…”

Abstract:We analyze the relationship between personality traits and stock market participation. Our sample comes from combining personality trait scores and socioeconomic status information from the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 with data from Finnish Central Securities Depository, the official register of stock holdings in Finland. We find the traits, and especially the subscales of the traits, to be significant predictors of stock market participation. In particular, exploratory excitability, extravagance, sentimentality, and dependence have large effects. One-standard-deviation changes in the subscale scores have marginal effects of up to 4 percentage points on the probability of participating in the stock market.

A large population cohort provides normative data for investigation of temperament

Abstract: The results indicate good performance of the TCI and TPQ. Factor analysis support adoption of four temperament dimensions and suggest that developmental work is still needed in the RD dimension.
