This study investigated the phenotypic, genetic, and environmental relationships between Big Five personality traits and temperamental traits on the basis of the regulative theory of temperament (RTT) using a multitrait-multimethod twin dataset. This ...

The regulative theory of temperament defines sensory sensitivity as the capacity to react to sensory stimuli of low stimulating value. Some evidence already exists indicating that dopamine has the potential to modulate different aspects of sensory ...

Eysenck’s PEN and Strelau’s RTT theories are considered interrelated on the level of traits and translatable on the level of four ancient temperament types. However, they refer to different ways of regulation stimulation, by content (emotional and social) ...

In Strelau’s theory of temperament (RTT), there are four types of temperament, differentiated according to low vs. high stimulation processing capacity and to the level of their internal harmonization. The type of temperament is considered harmonized when ...

The paper concerns sensory sensitivity (SS), a formal characteristic of behavior Strelau introduced in his regulative theory of temperament (RTT). SS is the ability to react to sensory stimuli of low stimulatory value. It contributes to the regulation of ...

The Formal Characteristics of Behavior–Temperament Inventory (FCB-TI; , ) evolved from the Pavlovian CNS typology, which emphasizes the “formal” (energetic and temporal) aspects of behavior. Research suggests that the scales ...

The paper presents the results of a longitudinal study of two groups of participants of motor vehicle accidents (MVA). They were investigated twice: The first time after 1–6 months (N = 362) or 12–24 months (N = 337) after a MVA, and then 1 year after the ...
