“…When the effect of gender on the TCI-R scales was examined, it was determined that women's HA, RD, C and ST scores were significantly higher than men. The gender differences we found were similar to those of Giakoumaki et al [20] and Jaksic et al [21]. In particular, the high RD scores of female participants have been reported in many studies.…”

“…Other TCI-R scales showed weaker correlations among themselves and these results are consistent with the TCI-R validation studies in the literature [11,19,20]. In addition, similar to previous reports, there was a negative correlation between NS and age because of the reduced relevance of new stimuli with age [3,11,21]. SD and C showed a positive correlation with age.…”

OBJECTIVE: In this study, we aimed to examine the validity, reliability, and factor structure of the TCI-R in a Turkish sample. METHODS: Participants were 1026 (786 female, 240 male) college students at Hasan Kalyoncu University in Turkey. The study protocol was approved by the local Ethics Committee. Sociodemographic information of the participants was collected and the TCI-R, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and Personality Belief Questionnaire (PBQ) were administered. All statistical analyses were performed by using SPSS version 24 for Windows. RESULTS: The internal consistency was satisfactory for all dimensions (Cronbach alpha coefficients above 0.7). The highest Cronbach alpha was found for Persistence Dimension (0.92) and the lowest Cronbach alpha was found for Novelty Seeking Dimension (0.73) and test-retest correlation coefficients for all dimensions were relatively high and statistically significant. TCI-R temperament and character scales were found significantly correlated with the BDI, the BAI, and the PBQ total scores. A principal-components analysis with Promax rotation yielded four factors with an Eigenvalue greater than one, representing 62.67% of the total variance for temperament dimension. A principal-components analysis with Promax rotation yielded three factors with an Eigenvalue greater than one, representing 56.14% of the total variance for character dimension. The addition of four new subscales to the original scale for Persistence has produced a very reliable dimension in the TCI-R with the loadings ranging from 0.82 to 0.86. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggested that Turkish TCI-R was a valid and reliable tool with a robust factorial structure for further use in the assessing of personality psychopathology in clinical populations in Turkey.

“…It comprises 240 items rated on a 5-point Likert scale, ranging from 1 (definitely false) to 5 (definitely true). The Croatian adaptation of the TCI-R yielded adequate psychometric properties (internal consistencies, factorial and concurrent validity) in a large sample of psychiatric outpatients (Jaksic et al 2015b). In the present study, Cronbach's alpha coefficients for the seven subscales ranged from 0.71 to 0.89.…”

Comorbid Depression and Suicide Ideation in Patients With Combat-Related Ptsd: The Role of Temperament, Character, and Trait Impulsivity

Background: War veterans with PTSD have a high chance of developing major depressive disorder (MDD) at some point, while they can also exhibit increased suicidal tendencies. The primary goal of this research was to investigate whether personality dimensions, including temperament, character, and trait impulsivity, were associated with comorbid MDD, as well as with suicidal ideation in psychiatric patients suffering from combat-related PTSD.

“…Though some reviews have clustered novelty seeking with sensation seeking measures (Fischer, Smith, & Cyders, 2008;Stautz & Cooper, 2013), TCI novelty seeking was selected as an indicator of lack of self-control given empirical evidence across a number of samples, including the UPPS development sample (Whiteside & Lynam, 2001), suggesting this scale is more strongly associated with lack of premeditation than with sensation seeking (Evren, Durkaya, Evren, Dalbudak, & Cetin, 2012;Savvidou et al, 2017;Vonmoos et al, 2013). Relatedly, prior research suggests that TCI novelty seeking may not reflect a single construct but rather two: one reflecting characteristics more closely associated with sensation seeking and the other lack of self-control (Evren et al, 2012;Herbst, Zonderman, McCrae, & Costa, 2000;Jaksic et al, 2015;Vonmoos et al, 2013). A series of sensitivity analyses examining models including novelty seeking as (1) an indicator of lack of self-control, (2) an indicator of sensation seeking, and (3) omitting novelty seeking from either factor further supported our proposed model (see online Supplementary Methods and Supplementary Tables S3-S5 and S14).…”

Background Dual-systems models, positing an interaction between two distinct and competing systems (i.e. top-down self-control, and bottom-up reward- or emotion-based drive), provide a parsimonious framework for investigating the interplay between cortical and subcortical brain regions relevant to impulsive personality traits (IPTs) and their associations with psychopathology. Despite recent developments in multivariate analysis of genome-wide association studies (GWAS), molecular genetic investigations of these models have not been conducted. Methods Using IPT GWAS, we conducted confirmatory genomic structural equation models (GenomicSEM) to empirically evaluate dual-systems models of the genetic architecture of IPTs. Genetic correlations between dual-systems factors and relevant cortical and subcortical neuroimaging phenotypes (regional/structural volume, cortical surface area, cortical thickness) were estimated and compared. Results GenomicSEM dual-systems models underscored important sources of shared and unique genetic variance between top-down and bottom-up constructs. Specifically, a dual-systems genomic model consisting of sensation seeking and lack of self-control factors demonstrated distinct but related sources of genetic influences (rg = 0.60). Genetic correlation analyses provided evidence of differential associations between dual-systems factors and cortical neuroimaging phenotypes (e.g. lack of self-control negatively associated with cortical thickness, sensation seeking positively associated with cortical surface area). No significant associations were observed with subcortical phenotypes. Conclusions Dual-systems models of the genetic architecture of IPTs tested were consistent with study hypotheses, but associations with relevant neuroimaging phenotypes were mixed (e.g. no associations with subcortical volumes). Findings demonstrate the utility of dual-systems models for studying IPT genetic influences, but also highlight potential limitations as a framework for interpreting IPTs as endophenotypes for psychopathology.
