“…Regarding anxiety, all studies agreed on two core points: a high correlation between the temperamental dimension of harm avoidance (HA) and anxiety symptoms and an important inverse correlation between the character dimensions of self-directedness (SD) and anxiety symptoms, with HA scores increasingly higher and SD increasingly lower with the illness severity growing [22–25]. However Lu et al [26] suggested that, although anxiety is linked to high HA scores, only high novelty seeking (NS) appears as a good predictor of anxiety; indeed in agreement with the original viewpoint by Cloninger, people with high NS can show anxiety characterized by generalized turmoil or alarm without specific premonitory cues, frequently bodily pains, and slow fatigability [27].…”

Background. Nowadays, adult separation anxiety disorder (ASAD) is an established diagnostic category but is little investigated in subjects with addictive behaviours. Objective. To assess the presence of ASAD among patients with addictive disorders in comparison with anxiety patients and measure the personality correlates in all these groups. Methods. 103 outpatients, meeting DSM-IV-TR criteria for anxiety disorders (38 patients), alcohol dependence (30 patients), or pathological gambling (35 patients), were assessed by the Structured Clinical Interview for Separation Anxiety Symptoms (SCI-SAS) and the Adult Separation Anxiety Checklist (ASA-27) for separation anxiety and by the Temperament and Character Inventory-Revised (TCI-R) for personality characteristics. Results. ASAD is detected in 34.2% of anxiety patients, 13.3% of alcoholics, and 11.4% of gamblers. Separation anxiety scores correlate positively with harm avoidance and negatively with self-directedness in all groups; further correlations are seen among addictive patients only, that is, self-transcendence for gamblers and cooperativeness for both alcoholics and gamblers. Conclusions. The prevalence of ASAD is lower among addictive patients than in those with anxiety disorders; correlations are found between separation anxiety and specific TCI-R dimensions, with some matching across the three diagnostic groups.

BackgroundPrevious studies suggest that personality traits play an important role in academic burnout. The aim of this study was to investigate how Cloninger’s temperament and character traits explain academic burnout in a highly competitive environment of medical school.MethodsA total of 184 Korean medical students participated in the survey. The Cloninger’s Temperament and Character Inventory was measured around the beginning of the semester and Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey at the end of the semester. The correlations and stepwise regression analysis were conducted to explain the association between personality traits and academic burnout. In addition, latent profile analysis and profile analysis were employed to distinguish and explain differences of personality traits among latent academic burnout subgroups.ResultsThe higher harm avoidance of temperament and lower self-directedness and cooperativeness of character predicted the subscales of academic burnout in medical students. The Temperament and Character Inventory personality profile of high, middle, and low latent burnout subgroups were significantly different.ConclusionThis study showed that personality might account for the burnout level in medical education. The importance of character dimension for modulating the effects of temperament traits on academic burnout was discussed for future research.

“…From this aspect, character can change much easier than temperament (Zangwill, 1990). In contrast to temperament, character features describe the maturing of individual differences, starting with attachment to parents, and proceeding step by step throughout life (Jiang et al, 2001). Components of character maturate with a concept of self that is perceived as the person grows in age and with whatever personal or social experiences come with adulthood.…”

The aim is to investigate the relationships between the temperament and character traits and burnout dimensions among preschool teachers. In total, 130 preschool teachers participated in this study. All participants were asked to complete the Temperament and Character Inventory, and the Maslach Burnout Inventory. Findings indicate a positive association between emotional exhaustion and persistence. On the other hand, there is a negative significant correlation between emotional exhaustion and self-directedness (SD). Results conclude that there is a positive significant relationship between depersonalisation and SD, and a positive association between personal accomplishment and harm avoidance (HA). Multiple regression analysis was employed to examine the predictive effect temperament and character traits displayed on the burnout dimensions. Novelty seeking and reward dependence were significant predictors of the emotional exhaustion burnout dimension. Temperament and character traits are not significantly correlated with depersonalisation. HA temperament and character trait are the predictor factors that have specific effects on personal accomplishment.Keywords: Burnout, preschool education teachers, temperament and character traits. * ADDRESS FOR CORRESPONDENCE: Sibel Yoleri, Pre-School Education Department, Usak University, 64000 Center of Usak, Turkey.
