Abstract
Zusammenfassung. Es erfolgt eine kurze zusammenfassende Darstellung des theoretischen Hintergrundes und der Dimensionen des Temperament- und Charakterinventars (TCI). - Die Kennwerte für die interne Konsistenz anhand einer deutschen Normstichprobe von 509 gesunden Freiwilligen und für die Stabilität anhand einer Stichprobe von 75 stationären Patienten für den Behandlungsverlauf werden sowohl für die Dimensionen als auch für die Subskalen dargestellt. Erste Hinweise auf die Validität des Verfahrens in deutschen Stichproben werden in Form von Korrelationen mit den Faktoren des EMBU-Fragebogens, einem Verfahren zur Erfassung des erlebten elterlichen Erziehungsverhaltens, berichtet. Die interne Konsistenz für die Dimensionen “Beharrungsvermögen” und “Belohnungsabhängigkeit” entsprechen noch nicht den Erwartungen. Das Verfahren befindet sich aber international noch in der Entwicklung.
Abstract. A short comprehensive description of the theoretical background and of the dimensions of the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI) is given. - The scores for the internal consistency in a German validation sample of 509 healthy volunteers as well as for the stability in a sample of 75 psychiatric inpatients during the course of treatment for the dimensions and subscales are presented. As a first step towards validation in German samples, correlations with factors of the EMBU questionnaire, a method for assessing perceived parental rearing, are reported. Internal consistency for the dimensions “Persistence” and “Reward Dependence” do not yet meet the expectations. However, internationally the questionnaire is still under development.
