Abstrakt(y)
Introduction: The Temperament and Character Inventory – Revised (TCI-R) is a multidimensional trait personality inventory based on the Psychobiological Model of Personality proposed by Cloninger. Several existing cultural/language adaptations and standardizations generally provide evidence for the validity and sound psychometric properties of the seven basic dimensions of the TCI-R although some of the facets show only acceptable alpha reliability. The present study is focused on the basic descriptive statistics and psychometric properties of the Slovak translation of the TCI-R. It presents preliminary findings from the first stage of the standardization process of the method for the Slovak population. Results and Discussion: The seven main domains showed good to excellent alpha reliability levels, but for some subscales the alpha values were unacceptable. 26 items with less than acceptable item total correlation need to be reworded for future standardization process. Some of the dimensions were moderately intercorrelated, which contrasts with the underlying theory. Conclusion: Item reformulation is needed to improve the alpha reliability of several subscales of the Slovak version of the TCI-R before the method can be validated in further research.
