Construct Validity of the TCI-RS(Temperament and Character Inventory-Revised-Short Version): Comparing Temperament and Character with Depression and Anxiety in korean Undergraduates

Abstract

To test the construct validity of the TCI-RS, we examined the relationships among the TCI-RS as a measure of temperaments and characters, the Beck Depression Inventory(BDI) as a measure of depression, and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory(STAI) as a measure of anxiety. On the temperament dimensions, the BDI and STAI scores were correlated positively with Harm Avoidance and negatively with Persistence. On the character dimensions, the BDI and STAI scores were correlated negatively with Self-Directedness, and Cooperativeness. After controlling the STAI score, the BDI score was predicted by Novelty Seeking, Harm Avoidance, and Self-Directedness. After controlling the BDI score, the STAI (state) score was predicted by Harm Avoidance, Persistence, Self-Directedness, and Cooperativeness, and STAI (trait) score was predicted by Novelty Seeking, Harm Avoidance, Persistence, Self-Directedness, and Cooperativeness. These results are consistent with previous studies and verified the construct validity of the TCI-RS.
