Temperamentalna charakterystyka zaburzeń osobowości

The aim of the paper was empirical verification of the relationship between temperamental traits (according to RTT) and personality disorders. Two hypotheses were tested - the possibility of describing the specific profile of temperamental traits for each disorder or identifying the common temperamental characteristics for all personality disorders. The data were obtained in the study of more than 1700 subjects, assessed by self-report measures: TALEIA-400A, PBQ and SCID-II questionnaire for personality disorders, and the FCB-TI for temperamental traits. The results indicate the high similarity of correlational profiles of temperamental traits with all personality disorders, which may be classified into “week” (characterized by the low capacity for stimulation processing - involving Cluster A, C and borderline personality disorder) or “overstimulated” type of temperament (characterized by dysregulation of stimulation supply – Cluster B: antisocial, histrionic and narcissistic personality disorder). Identifying the specific profile of relations of temperamental traits for each of 10 personality disorders (described in DSM IV) was not possible.
