The temperament and character inventory revised (TCI-R): descriptive and factor structure in different age levels
This study was aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties and the relationship of age with the answers, internal consistency and factorial structure of the TCI-R. The questionnaire was responded by a sample of 928 voluntary subjects (396 males and 532 women), with a mean age of 30 years old. The...

| Sumario: | This study was aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties and the relationship of age with the answers, internal consistency and factorial structure of the TCI-R. The questionnaire was responded by a sample of 928 voluntary subjects (396 males and 532 women), with a mean age of 30 years old. The participants under 30 scored substantially higher in Novelty Seeking, and to a lesser extent in Reward Dependence, while aged subjects scored significant higher in Harm Avoidance, Self-Directiveness and Cooperation. The global coefficients of factorial congruence were higher than 0.90 in all age groups. The goodness-of-fit indexes in the CFA were unsatisfactory for the simple structure models, although improved when considering secondary loadings. Implications for further research with the TCI-R are discussed. |
