The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Temperament and Character Inventory-Revised (TCI-R) in an outpatient sample.
The TCI-R was administered to 404 consecutively admitted subjects. The TCI-R scale 1-month test-retest reliability and TCI-R/TCI convergent validity were assessed in 2 independent subsamples.
The TCI-R scales showed adequate Cronbach alpha values and acceptable 1-month test-retest reliability coefficients. Although many TCI-R facets showed factorial complexity, factor analysis results were consistent with the 7-factor structure of the TCI-R scales. The predictive validity of TCI-R profiles for personality disorder diagnoses was confirmed, with different combinations of temperament dimensions being associated with specific personality disorders.
The TCI-R was a reliable and valid instrument for assessing temperament and character features, at least among Italian outpatients. The TCI-R psychometric properties support its clinical usefulness in the assessing of personality psychopathology.
本研究旨在评估门诊样本中修订版气质与性格量表（TCI-R）的信度和效度。
对404名连续入院的受试者进行TCI-R测试。在2个独立子样本中评估TCI-R量表的1个月重测信度以及TCI-R/TCI收敛效度。
TCI-R量表显示出足够的克朗巴哈α值和可接受的1个月重测信度系数。尽管许多TCI-R子量表显示出因子复杂性，但因子分析结果与TCI-R量表的7因子结构一致。证实了TCI-R剖面图对人格障碍诊断的预测效度，不同的气质维度组合与特定的人格障碍相关。
TCI-R是评估气质和性格特征的可靠且有效的工具，至少在意大利门诊患者中如此。TCI-R的心理测量特性支持其在评估人格精神病理学方面的临床实用性。
