Validation and adaptation of Clonninger's JTCI temperament and character questionnaire, children' and parent's version, applied on chilean children between agen 8 and 13

R. Cloninger's Temperament and Character Inventory have focused on the research of temperament and character as a relevant factor in the development of human's personality and have contributed to determine constitutional and neuroanatomic factors that intervene both, in normal and pathological behavior. This investigation uses Cloninger's Temperament and Character Questionnaire for children and parents (Luby, Svrakic, McCallum, Przybeck y Cloninger,1999). This inventory measures temperamental and characterological features more frequently present in scholars and explores parents-children concurrence. Results show slight differences with respect to the unique study previously realized by Luby, et al., (1999). No significant differences by gender are observed in the sample. Despite only some dimensions have significant values between parents and children, these justify the need to apply questionnaires to scholars and complement the information with their parent's appreciation.
