| Sumario: | The study of personality traits and temperament in children and adolescents has been a relevant topic in the last two decades. One of the main challenges is related to how to measure these traits. This study aimed to conduct a systematic literature review to understand how personality traits and temperament are assessed in childhood and adolescence. In addition, text mining techniques were employed to analyze the items of the questionnaires found. The search was conducted on the following electronic literature databases: APA, Scopus, Pubmed, Web of Science, and BVS. Studies with evidence of internal structure validity for personality and temperament questionnaires for individuals aged 6 to 17 were included. Only samples with typical development were considered. Historical trends suggesting the use of personality traits in more recent studies were observed. Overall, the most commonly used model for personality was the five-factor model, and for temperament, the three-dimensional model. The most common terms for personality traits and their patterns of co-occurrence were identified. The results obtained can assist in identifying the most common themes for assessing traits in children and adolescents. Consequently, instrument construction studies can attempt to maintain comparability with the literature or explore the evaluation of less explored characteristics. |
