To determine the influence of language and culture on the temperament and character (TCI) measure in a Chinese sample.
We translated the TCI into Mandarin and had a non-psychiatric sample of Malaysian Chinese subjects complete the TCI at baseline and at a 1-month retest, with subsets completing English or Mandarin versions alternatively or on both occasions. Analyses examine the TCI factor structure and any impact of language and culture on TCI scoring.
We identified age, gender, occupation and language effects on TCI scale scores. Test-retest reliability was high and not compromised by language. Scale internal consistency was also high. Factor analyses of separate sets of TCI scales corresponded strongly to the structure identified in the TCI development studies.
The results indicate that TCI is likely to have applicability to Chinese subjects, and argue against properties being constrained by the English language or by western culture.
确定语言和文化对中国样本中气质与性格问卷（TCI）测量的影响。
我们将TCI翻译成普通话，让一组非精神科的马来西亚华裔受试者在基线时和1个月后的复测时完成TCI，部分受试者在两次测试中交替完成英语或普通话版本，或两次都完成。分析考察TCI的因子结构以及语言和文化对TCI评分的任何影响。
我们确定了年龄、性别、职业和语言对TCI量表分数的影响。重测信度很高，且不受语言影响。量表的内部一致性也很高。对单独几组TCI量表进行的因子分析与TCI开发研究中确定的结构高度一致。
结果表明TCI可能适用于中国受试者，反对其特性受英语或西方文化限制的观点。
