“…In line with previous literature (Engstrom et al, 2004;Evans et al, 2005;Farmer et al, 2003;Hansenne et al, 2005;Harley et al, 2011;Janowsky et al, 1999;Loftus et al, 2008;Mula et al, 2008;Nery et al, 2008;Nowakowska et al, 2005;Osher et al, 1996;Sasayama et al, 2011;Young et al, 1995), both BP-II and MDD patients reported higher HA and lower SD scores than HS. Mood disorder patients seem to describe themselves as more fatigable, shy, worry-prone, and pessimistic than healthy individuals.…”

“…Similar relationships have been consistently reported in the international literature by means of the TCI especially for depressive disorders in samples from the general population and in clinical samples (for example, Richter et al 2000;Cloninger et al 1998;Peirson and Heuchert 2001). In particular, Harm Avoidance has been found to be higher in individuals suffering from various kinds of psychopathology compared with healthy subjects (for example: panic disorder- Mula et al 2008;bipolar spectrum disease-Savitz et al 2008;pain-Conrad et al 2007; relatives of schizophrenia patients- Bora and Veznedaroglu 2007). This suggests that high Harm Avoidance, especially when combined with low Self-Directedness, represents an unspecific vulnerable precondition to developing some psychopathological disturbance when confronted with serious and demanding critical life events or daily hassles, the occurrence of which is almost guaranteed due to the nature of police work.…”

This study aimed at personality and mental health status of Swedish police trainees considering gender differences; and at relationships between personality and mental health. 103 individuals were investigated by means of the SCL-90-R and the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI) upon entry to the police academy. By contrast, the police trainees were mentally much healthier than individuals from the general population. They reported low Harm Avoidance and their character dimensions were more developed in terms of strength, responsibility and reliability. Harm Avoidance (positively) and Self-Directedness (negatively) were found to be associated with all facets of psychopathology. The good mental health and mature personality characteristics reported by trainees, particularly the females, suggest that they have the strength to master the stressful situations which they will face in their professional lives. In order to prevent possible psychological disturbances later in life, due to the high level of distress in their work, the development of trainees' personality in terms of particular coping skills should be regarded as an integral part of their professional training at the police academy.

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.
