Abstract

Introduction: Identifying affective temperaments could be useful both for understanding the normal behavioral variations in the general population and to establish if there is a clinical predisposition to certain disorders. Five affective temperaments have been proposed: depressive, cyclothymic, hyperthymic, irritable and anxious. Original instrument for measuring them (TEMPS-A) is a 110-item scale but many short versions in different languages have been validated. The aim of this study was to obtain a short self-administered Spanish version of TEMPS-A with good psychometric properties.

Materials and methods: A sample of 550 students who answered the argentinean version of TEMPS-A was included, after psychometric analysis a comparison between inpatients with major depression and their matched controls by sex and age who answered the brief version was performed to get an external validation.

Results: The sample was composed by 298 (54.2%) women. The mean age was 23.3 year (SD=6.2). A forced five factor analysis was performed. The 7 items with the highest factorial load (more than 0.350) for each subscale were included in the brief version. The Cronbach alpha's ranged from 0.690 to .800. The most prevalent temperament was hyperthymic followed by cyclothymic for students sample. Similarities between students and controls sample were observed, but not with patients with major depression.

Conclusions: This brief Spanish version of TEMPS-A (35 items) has good psychometric properties and can be used in general and clinical population.

西班牙文简短版 TEMPS-A 验证研究。

引言识别情绪气质既有助于了解普通人群的正常行为变化，也有助于确定临床上是否存在某些疾病的易感性。目前已提出了五种情绪气质：抑郁型、周期性抑郁型、亢进型、易怒型和焦虑型。最初的测量工具（TEMPS-A）包含 110 个项目，但已有许多不同语言的简短版本通过验证。本研究的目的是获得一个具有良好心理测量特性的简短的西班牙文版 TEMPS-A：在对重度抑郁症住院患者进行心理测量分析后，将他们与回答简短版 TEMPS-A 的性别和年龄相匹配的对照组进行比较，以获得外部验证：样本中有 298 名女性（54.2%）。平均年龄为 23.3 岁（SD=6.2）。进行了强制五因子分析。每个分量表中因子载荷最高（大于 0.350）的 7 个项目被纳入简明版。Cronbach alpha 在 0.690 到 0.800 之间。在学生样本中，最常见的气质是多愁善感型，其次是周期性多愁善感型。学生与对照组样本之间存在相似性，但与重度抑郁症患者之间不存在相似性：西班牙文简明版 TEMPS-A（35 个项目）具有良好的心理测量特性，可用于普通人群和临床人群。
