Cloninger及其同事提出的人格七因素模型将人格描述为叠加在气质遗传维度上的性格发展方面的函数。本研究的目的是确定这种模式是否可以应用于幼儿。我们在305名2-5岁的儿童中测试了气质和性格量表（学龄前TCI）的学龄前版本。探索性因素分析提供了支持气质（包括四个因素）和性格（包括三个因素）的不同领域的存在。学前TO表现出高的内部一致性的七个因素（克朗巴赫的α值：0.70-0.93）。个体间的差异，寻求新奇，奖励依赖和合作性高度保存（皮尔逊的r值分别为0.75，0.64和0.80），在29名受试者进行了为期3年的研究，从幼儿到早期学龄。未来的研究是必要的，以测试在何种程度上早期儿童测量的七个因素可能预测人格障碍的发展。(C)2002爱思唯尔科学爱尔兰有限公司保留所有权利。
The seven-factor model of personality developed by Cloninger and colleagues describes personality as a function of developmental aspects of character superimposed on heritable dimensions of temperament. The objective of this study was to determine whether this model could be applied to early childhood. We tested a preschool version of the Temperament and Character Inventory (the preschool TCI) in 305 children aged 2-5 years. Exploratory factor analysis provided support for the presence of distinct domains of temperament (comprising four factors) and character (comprising three factors). The preschool TO demonstrated high internal consistency for each of the seven factors (Cronbach's alpha values: 0.70-0.93). Inter-individual differences in novelty seeking, reward dependence and cooperativeness were highly preserved (Pearson's r values 0.75, 0.64 and 0.80, respectively) in 29 subjects who were studied over a 3-year period from toddlerhood to early school age. Future studies are warranted to test the extent to which early childhood measurements of the seven factors might predict the development of personality disorders.
