This study focused on the problem behavior after drinking, and examined the effects of temperament of adult drinker on offensive behavior and analyzed the sequential mediating effects of aggression and drinking behavior. To this purpose, 299 subjects were assessed through the Temperament and Character Inventory(TCI)-for adults, Korean Aggression Questionnaire, and Korean Alcohol Use Disorder diagnosis. As the results, 'Novelty seeking' had the highest level of explanation for aggression. In the relationship between 'Novelty seeking' and offensive behavior, mediating effect of aggression and drinking behavior were significant. In its course, sequential mediating effect of both was shown as complete mediation. This result implies that the aggression and drinking behavior were the factors of connecting 'Novelty seeking' and offensive behavior, and the characteristic of 'Novelty seeking' does not have direct influence on offensive behavior but only through aggression and offensive behavior that it has such effect.

The purpose of this paper is to find the differences of personality types and learning styles of general students(69) and the gifted in mathematics(66) and sciences(66). 132 subjects, whose academic achievements are in top 1 % level in elementary schools, were selected from the gifted center of the university in Busan. MMTIC(Murphy-Meisgeir Type Indicator for Children) was used to classify personal style inventory(E-I, S-N, T-F and J-P). Adapted form of Grasha & Reichmann's learning style was used to classify 3 pairs: dependent-independent, competitive-collaborative, avoidant-participant. In this paper, we were mainly concerned with the differences of learning styles, and personal types of three groups according to as indices, functions and temperament. One of our results was that there were differences of personality types between general students and the gifted in mathematics and sciences according to as indices, functions and temperament. And there were differences of learning style between three groups according to as dependent-independent, and avoidant-participant.. The gifted in mathematics and sciences prefer to independent and participant learning style in comparison with general students. Finally, there were relation of personality types and learning styles. According to functions and temperament of MMTIC, SF (sensation-feeling) and NF(intuition-feeling) type students prefer to collaborative and participant styles in comparison with ST (sensation-thought) and NT(intuition-thought) type students. And NT(intuition-thought) type students prefer to avoidant styles in comparison with SF(sensation-feeling) and NF(intuition-feeling) type students.

The purpose of this paper is to correspond to four-elements in astrology theory, an intellectual from ancient times, that show personality temperament among MBTI, a representative personality type test in modern times, furthermore, by examining 16 personality type cards in tarot, a play culture and fortune telling culture in which the four-element theory is integrated in symbols, it is a comparative consideration that connects the characteristics of the character types contained in them to the 16 personality types of MBTI. The four preferred types of MBTI are Extravesion(E) and Introversion(I), Sensing(S) and Intuition(N), Thinking(T) and Feeling(F), Judgment(J) and Perception(P). Among them, Western four-elements were able to respond to Fire, Water, Air, and Earth in the order of NF(iNtuitive Feeling Type), SF(Sensory Feeling Type), NT(iNtuitive Thinking Type), and ST(Sensory Thinking Type). This is a result that can be derived by comparing individual personality theory and MBTI temperament theory among the symbols contained in ancient astrological theories. And the classification of boys, knights, queens, and kings in the four classes of person cards could be divided according to the MBTI attitude index. The boy showed an adaptive introvert using I and P, the knight showed an adaptive extrovert using E and P, the queen showed a decisive introvert using I and J, and the king showed an adaptive extrovert using E and J.

This study aims to investigate the relationship between personality, especially temperament and subjective well-being. The participants were 681 college students (211 males and 470 females), whose ages ranged from 17 to 37 (M=20.91, SD=2.36). The instruments utilized in the present study were Korean Version of BAS/BIS Scale, The Big Five Locator, Satisfaction with Life Scale, Life Satisfaction Motivation Scale, Life Satisfaction Expectancy Scale, Emotion Frequency Test, and Subjective Happiness Scale. Result indicated that women expected more positive future than men did, while no gender differences were found in any other well-being variables. Correlational analyses revealed that emotional stability and extroversion were closely associated with life satisfaction, happiness, positive and negative emotion, whereas behavioral activation system (BAS) and behavioral inhibition system (BIS) were more closely associated with motivation to live and expectancy of satisfactory life. There was close relationship between conscientiousness and subjective well-being, because they were college students. As a internal factor, personality was better predictor for subjective well-being of female students. For instance, it accounted for around 35% variance of female's subjective happiness. The present findings reiterate the role of personality in quality of life, and it was discussed with characteristics of subjects, situational factors, and previous studies.

Objective : The aim of this study was to investigate how trauma and personality system was related by comparing TCI profiles of the trauma versus non-trauma groups and PTSD symptom positive (PTSD symptom [+] group) and PTSD symptom negative groups (PTSD symptom [-] group). Methods : We compared the difference of Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI) profiles between the trauma (n=61) and the non-trauma (n=61) groups, and between the PTSD symptom [+] group (n=40) and PTSD symptom [-] group (n=21). Results : Comparison of the TCI's seven higher dimensions between the PTSD symptom [+] and [-] groups showed significant differences only in C (Cooperativeness). And in the analysis of TCI's lower dimensions the significant differences were observed in the HA1 (Worry and pessimism), HA2 (Tension regarding uncertainty), and C4 (Compassion) subscales. However, significant differences in the higher dimensions appeared more clearly between the non-traumatized group and the traumatized group. Compared to the non-traumatized group, the traumatized group scored significantly higher in HA (Harm avoidance) and RD (Reward dependence), while lower in SD (Self-directedness). Conclusion : Overall, present results suggest that traumatic experiences may affect personality systems regardless of the development and of PTSD symptoms.

Objectives: The Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI), initially developed by Dr. Cloninger in 1986, has been studied from various perspectives in many countries; however, its application in Korea has been limited due to a lack of information regarding the clinical use of integrative medicine. Methods and Results: A systematic review of previous studies on the theoretical development, structure, and content of temperament and character scales, as well as their stability and variability, is presented. In addition, the distinctive features of TCI as a biopsychosocial model and its clinical application regarding well-being, coherence therapy, and person-centered medicine were systematically reviewed. Discussion and Conclusion: The promotion of well-being with Cloninger's personality model and its importance for integrative medicine were discussed. This study would contribute to the clinical application of TCI in Korea.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to study the personality traits of Sasang constitutions by comparing the profiles of Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI) and Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ). Methods : A total of 110 healthy people (20 to 40 years old), except for 2 Taeyangin (TY type), were analyzed; 45 Taeeumin (TE type), 32 Soyangin (SY type), and 31 Soeumin (SE type). A Sasang constitutional medicine specialist diagnosed the Sasang constitution after analyzing the result of a Two Step Questionnaire for Sasang Constitution Diagnosis (TS-QSCD), the external appearance, temperament and symptoms. The dimensions of TCI and EPQ were compared among the different Sasang constitutions, using an analysis of variance, and correlations between TCI and EPQ were analyzed by a Pearson correlation method. Results : Among the four temperament dimensions of TCI, SY type showed a significantly higher score than the SE type in Novelty Seeking. SE type showed significantly higher score than TE and SY type in Harm Avoidance. SY type showed significantly higher score than SE type in Reward Dependence. TE and SY type showed significantly higher score than SE type in Persistence. There were no significant differences in the character dimensions of Self-directness, Cooperativeness and Self-Transcendence. Among the seven dimensions of EPQ, TE and SY type showed significantly higher score than SE type in Extraversion. SE type showed significantly higher score than SY type in Lie. SY type showed significantly higher score than TE and SE type in Impulsiveness. Conclusions : The results demonstrated that there are some significant differences of personality traits among Sasang constitutions. This could help diagnose and understand each Sasang constitution.

본 연구는 중학교 2학년 141명의 학생을 대상으로 수학 창의성(Mathematical Creative Problem Solving Ability Test: KEDI, 1997)과 성격유형(Murphy-Meisgeier Type Indicator for Children: 심혜숙 김정택, 1993)과의 상관관계를 조사하였다. 자료 분석은 중학생의 성격 특성을 알아보기 위하여 유형별로 빈도와 백분율을 산출하였고, 성격유형에 따른 수학 창의성의 차이를 검증하기 위하여 평한, 표준편차, t-test, ANOVA와 Duncan 사후검증을 실시하였다. 본 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫 번째, 일반 중학교 2학년과 비교해 볼 때, 선호지표에서 연구 집단의 중학생은 표준화집단(심혜숙 김정택, 1993)보다 I(2.7%), J(3.9%)가 높았다. 두 번째, 수학 창의성과 성격유형을 살펴본 결과, 기질적 측면에서 유창성, 융통성, 수학 창의성 전체에서 NF형이 SJ, SP형에 비해 의미 있게 높았고, SJ형도 SP형에 비해 의미 있게 높게 나타났다. 세 번째, 성격유형 중에서 어떤 요인이 중학교 2학년의 수학 창의성을 잘 예측해 주는지를 살펴본 결과, 직관(N), 내향(I)이 수학 창의성의 예인변인으로서 유의하였다. 이러한 결과와 관련하여 수학 창의성 검사도구 및 수학창의성 프로그램 개발 시 직관과 내향을 우선적으로 고려하여야 한다. 네 번째 NT와 {SP, SJ, NF}는 통계적으로 유의미하게 같은 수준의 집단이 아니므로 직관적사고형(NT)이 감각적 감정형(SF), 감각적 사고형(ST), 직관적 감정형(NF)과는 독립된 특별한 요인으로 보인다. 직관적사고형(NT)은 조사와 개념 학습이나 소크라테스식의 문답법적인 학습과 문제해결학습을 선호하고 독립심이 지지되는 분위기의 학급을 선호한다. 따라서 수학 창의성 증진과 관련된 교육과정이나 프로그램개발 시 조사와 개념 학습이나 소크라테스식의 문답법적인 학습과 문제해결학습을 우선적으로 고려하여야 할 것이다. 연구 결과와 관련하여 연구의 제한점과 후속연구를 위한 제언은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 연구대상이 특정지역의 중학교 2학년 학생이므로 연구결과를 우리나라 중학교 2학년으로 일반화시키는데는 무리가 있을 수 있다. 따라서 후속연구에서는 연구대상의 표집을 확대하여 볼 필요가 있다. 둘째, 수학 창의성과 성격유형간의 관계와 관련하여 수학 창의성과 성격유형의 각 하위 차원들 간에 적률 상관계수를 통해 상관관계를 분석해 보는 것이 필요하다. 셋째 직관과 내향 및 조사와 개념 학승이나 소크라테스식의 문답법적인 학습과 문제해결학습을 고려한 수학 창의성 프로그램이 개발할 필요가 있다.
