Objectives : This study investigate to identify the stability of temperament and personality characteristics of patients including Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) patients. Methods : The number of subjects was 102, of which 33 were PTSD patients and 69 were non-PTSD patients. To demonstrate the change in individual temperament and personality characteristics, Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI) were administered repeatedly on the subjects. Repeated measures ANOVA and simple main effects analysis were conducted. Results : When analysed by dividing the subjects into PTSD groups and non-PTSD groups, the differences between the primary and secondary tests did not appear in the non-PTSD groups, but the differences between the primary and secondary tests were significant in Harm Avoidance (HA), Reward Dependence (RD), Self-Directedness (SD), Cooperativeness (C). In addition, it was noted that the time and group interaction effects of HA, RD, SD and C were significant, and that the main effects of time of HA, RD, SD and C were significant. Conclusions : This study is meaningful in that in the course of experience and recovery of traumatic events, we have clinically confirmed that changes in the temperament, known as stable variables, are possible.

The current study analyzed the relationship between expression type of humor ads and their advertising effects and the differences in advertising effects by expression type according to temperament as categorized by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). Expression type of humor was classified into arousal-, incongruity-, and superiority-type humor ads. Advertising effects were measured by consumers' cognitive, affective, and conative responses. Three ads were created based on expression type of humor. A personality type, as measured by the MBTI, was categorized into four types of temperament, namely SP, SJ, NF, NT and used as moderating variables. As a result, the advertising effects varied according to the expression type of humor advertising. Interaction effects between ad expression type and temperament on ad feeling and ad preference were also found.

이미 많은 연구들을 통해 동질적인 집단에 비해 이질적인 구성원으로 이뤄진 집단이 더욱 창의적이며 상호 보완하여 시너지효과를 발휘한다는 것이 밝혀졌다. 그러나 기존 연구들은 결과에만 초점을 둘 뿐 각 과정과 단계에서 구성원이 겪는 고충과 불 만족감, 사기 저하 등과 같은 실질적으로 집단창의성을 저해하는 요인을 파악하려는 깊이 있는 접근은 미비한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 집단을 이루는 구성원의 특성과 창의성과의 관계에 초점을 두어 개인이 가진 자신만의 독특한 성격 (Personality)이 집단에서 다른 구성원들과 만났을 때 어떠한 효과 또는 반용을 보이는가를 관찰하여 집단 내에서 개인이 가진 성격적 특성이 창의적인 시너지효과를 증대시킬 수 있는 창의적 집단 모델을 구성하고자 했다. 집단 구성원의 성격적 특질을 알아보기 위해 MBTI를 사용하였고 MBTI의 기질별 특성이 집단 창의성에 미치는 영향을 살며보고자 했던 본 연구 결과, 집단 창의성과 MBTI의 관계는 실제로 MBTI의 성향에 따라 다르게 나타남을 알 수 있었다. 각 성향별로 지난 장정을 적절히 조합했을 때에 집단은 집단을 이루는 구성원들에 의해 발전적인 방향으로 나아감을 알 수 있었는데, 이는 무작위로 구성된 집단이 각 개인의 능력을 저하시키는 가장 큰 요인임을 보여주는 것이라 할 수 있다.

Objectives In the previous studies, it has been suggested that temperament and character may affect specialty choice in medical students. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of temperament and character on specialty interests in medical students. Methods A total 132 third-year medical students initially participated in this study. Among these participants, 128 students had filled out both demographic and Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI) questionnaires. Socio-demographic data, specialty interests and Cloninger's TCI scores were obtained. The specialty interests were categorized into surgical, medical and other departments. Results Among 128 students, 88 (68.7%), 29 (22.7%) and 22 (8.6%) students chose medical, surgical and other departments, respectively. Students choosing surgery departments showed lower Harm Avoidance scores (F = 4.39, df = 1, p = 0.04) and higher Self-Directedness scores (F = 4.30, df = 1, p = 0.04) than those who chose medical departments. There was no significant differences in Novelty Seeking, Reward dependence, Persistence, Cooperativeness, Self-Transcendence scores between groups. Conclusions To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that has demonstrated the relationship between TCI scores and specialty interests of medical students in Korea. The current study suggests that temperament and character influence specialty interests in medical students. These findings could have implications for medical education research and career counseling.

Objective : Police officers are exposed to job-related traumatic events and have a high prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This study examined the relationship between PTSD symptoms and dimensions of temperament and character in police officers. Method : Thirty-six police officers participating in a psychological support program were enrolled. All subjects were asked to complete a demographic questionnaire, the Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R), the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI) and other self-reported symptoms scales. Results : Among all participants (age $40.8{\pm}10.2$, men 94.4%), the rate of 'post-traumatic stress symptoms group' was 47.2%. After controlling for confounding factors, lower self-directedness scores were significantly associated with higher PTSD symptoms (${\beta}=0.6$, p=0.03) in multiple regression analysis. Conclusion : Character traits, especially self-directedness, were associated with the severity of PTSD symptoms severity. These findings may provide useful information regarding personality factors related to PTSD in police officers.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze the smoking behaviors and to identify the impacts of depression, temperament, and characteristic on smoking experience in the female adolescents. Methods: This study surveyed 691 highschool girls in the Gangwon area using self -administered questionnaires. Data were analyzed by SPSS 12.0. using Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression. Results: The smoking rate of the highschool girls was lower than that of the national average. Depression was observed to be seriously in the highschool girls. There were a positive correlations among smoking experience, the school records and novelty seeking and a negative correlation between smoking and cooperativeness. The significant predictors of smoking experience were the type of school, the satisfaction with school the school records, novelty seeking, reward dependence and cooperativeness. Conclusion: These results suggest that femalel adolescents who have the factors identified in this study are considered to have the potential for smoking. These results provide the basis for developing smoking prevention and cessation programs.

행동활성화체계(BAS)/ 행동억제체계(BIS)는 서로 독립적이고 구분되는 신경 기저와 작용 방식을 가졌기 때문에 사람들은 이 두 체계에서 각기 독립적인 민감성을 보이리라고 가정할 수 있으며, 개인의 기질이나 성격 특성 및 광범위한 전반적 정서 경험 경향성과도 밀접하게 관련된다고 가정된다. 본 연구에서는 뇌자도(MEG)에서 취득한 신호를 가지고 EEG에서 얻은 신호 및 자기 보고식 질문지를 통한 비교 분석 연구를 수행하였다. 총 9명 (male=6, female=3)을 대상으로 EEG/MEG를 수행한 후 BIS/BAS 질문지를 수행하여 비교 분석하였다. 자기 보고식 질문지와 EEG/MEG와의 상관관계 및 통계분석을 통하여 EEG와 MEG에서 일치성 및 상관성을 살펴보고 향후 성격 및 감성성향 판단 및 분류에 있어서 MEG의 효용성 측면을 살펴보고자 함이 본 연구의 목적이다.

Although it is known that there are personality characteristic variances in the sensitivity to environmental feedback, the trait individual difference has scarcely been explored in the context of recognition memory decision. The present study investigated this issue by examining the relationship between the feedback-based adaptive flexibility of recognition criterion positioning and personality differences in general sensitivity to non-laboratory outcomes. Experiment 1 demonstrated that veridical feedback itself had little effect on the recognition decision criterion whereas Experiment 2 demonstrated that biased feedback manipulations selectively restricted to high confidence errors, induced shifts even in the overall Old/New category criterion. Critically, individual differences in stable personality characteristic linked to reward seeking(Behavioral Activation System-BAS) and anxiety avoidance (Behavioral Inhibition System-BIS) has been shown to predict the sensitivity of subjects to this form of feedback-induced criterion learning. This data further support the idea that incremental reinforcement-based learning mechanism not often considered important during explicit recognition decisions may play a key role in criterion setting.

Objective:The aim of this study was to evaluate the temperament and character profiles of the patients with posttraumatic stress disorder(PTSD) after burn injury. Methods:The study subjects consisted of 23 PTSD patients after burn injury, 24 patients not being diagnosed as PTSD after burn injury(non-PTSD) and 53 healthy controls. The assessment of PTSD was performed using clinician administered PTSD scale. All participants were instructed to complete the Temperament and Character Inventory(TCI), the Beck Depression Inventory and the State and Trait Anxiety Inventory of Spielberger. Results:The PTSD group after burn injury, compared with the non-PTSD group and the normal controls, had the higher novelty seeking and harm avoidance scores. But there were no differences in other dimensions in the TCI among the three groups. Conclusion:The results of this study suggest that the PTSD group after burn injury showed the specific properties of temperament and character compared with the non-PTSD group and the normal group.
