“…Similar findings have been reported in nonclinical subjects by earlier studies (Iliceto et al, 2011;Rozsa et al, 2008). The multiple regression analyses of this study clarified that only cyclothymic and anxious temperaments significantly predicted depressive symptoms.…”

“…This finding was supported by higher path coefficients from the latent variable "temperament" to cyclothymic and anxious temperaments in the structural equation modeling. The earlier studies reported only correlations between temperaments and depressive symptoms, and they did not investigate the other factors that influenced temperaments (Iliceto et al, 2011;Rozsa et al, 2008). Our study revealed the direct effects of childhood abuse on temperaments, resulting in increased depressive symptoms.…”

Background: Previous studies have shown the interaction between heredity and childhood stress or life events on the pathogenesis of major depression. We hypothesized that childhood abuse, affective temperaments, and adult stressful life events interact and influence depressive symptoms in the general adult population and tested this hypothesis in this study. Methods:The 294 participants from the nonclinical general adult population were studied using the Limitations:The subjects of this study were nonclinical. The findings might not be generalized to patients with mood disorders. Conclusions:This study suggests that childhood abuse, especially neglect, indirectly increased depressive symptoms through increased affective temperaments, which, in turn, increase the negative appraisal of stressful life events. An important role of affective temperaments in the effect of childhood abuse and stressful life events on depressive symptoms was suggested.

“…Recent studies [70][71][72][73][74] point to an association between hyperthymic temperament and increased novelty seeking (NS) coupled with lower harm avoidance (HA); cyclothymic temperament and high harm avoidance and high novelty seeking; and depressive temperament with high harm avoidance and low novelty seeking; whereas irritable temperament was associated with increased novelty seeking as well as moderate harm avoidance; and anxious temperament with high harm avoidance and moderate novelty seeking. There was also a weak correlation reported between the five affective temperaments and the dimensions of reward dependence and persistence.…”

Bipolar disorder constitutes a challenge for clinicians in everyday clinical practice. Our knowledge concerning this clinical entity is incomplete and contemporary classification systems are unable to reflect the complexity of this disorder.. The concept of temperament which for the first time was described during antiquity constitutes a reasonable vehicle to synthesize our knowledge on how the human body works and what determines human behavior. Although it originally included philosophical and sociocultural approaches, today the biomedical model is dominant. It is possible that specific temperaments might constitute vulnerability factors, determine the clinical picture or constitute illness course modifiers and even act as a bridge between genes and clinical manifestations, thus giving birth to the concept of the bipolar spectrum with major implications for all aspects of mental health research and providing of care. More specifically it has been reported that the hyperthymic and the depressive temperaments are related to the more 'classic' bipolar disorder, while cyclothymic, anxious and irritable temperaments are related to more complex manifestations and might predict poor response to treatment, violent or suicidal behavior and high comorbidity. It seems reasonable to assume that the incorporating of the concept of temperament and the bipolar spectrum in the standard training of psychiatric residents might result in an improvement of everyday clinical practice.3

“…Akiskal's affective temperament is associated with domains of normal personality, as described by McCrae and Costa's five-factor model of personality (Blӧink, Briegera, Akiskal, & Marneros, 2005;Kwapil et al, 2013;Rózsa et al, 2008) and Cloninger's psychobiological model of temperament and character (Harnic et al, 2013;Ristić-Ignjatović et al, 2014;Róz-sa et al, 2008;. Studies confirm the similarity between the concept of affective temperaments and other models of personality, including normally functioning personality (temperament).…”

backgroundThis study investigates the relationship between temperament traits postulated by Strelau's regulative theory of temperament (RTT) and Akiskal's affective temperaments. This study represents the first attempt to compare these two concepts in a non-clinical Polish sample. participants and procedureThe study involved 615 healthy Caucasian adults (395 women and 220 men) aged from 17 to 69 years (M = 30.79, SD = 9.69). Temperament traits postulated by the RTT were assessed with the Formal Characteristics of Behaviour-Temperament Inventory. The Polish version of the Temperament Evaluation of Memphis, Pisa, Paris and San Diego Auto-questionnaire (TEMPS-A) was used to assess affective temperaments (depressive, cyclothymic, hyperthymic, irritable and anxious). resultsEmotional reactivity and perseveration (RTT) positively correlated with anxious, cyclothymic, depressive and irritable temperaments (TEMPS-A), predicting from 2% (irritable temperament) to 24% (anxious temperaments) of the variance in the affective temperaments. Hyperthymic temperament (TEMPS-A) positively correlated with briskness, sensory sensitivity, endurance and activity (RTT). Activity was the best predictor of hyperthymic temperament, accounting for 25% of the variance. TEMPS-A scores showed that women were more depressive, cyclothymic and anxious and less hyperthymic than men. conclusionsThese results suggest that two RTT traits, emotional reactivity and perseveration, may be related to all the affective temperaments of TEMPS-A, except hyperthymic temperament, which is most likely linked to the RTT activity trait.
