The factor structure of the Chinese version of the Temperament and Character Inventory: factorial robustness and association with age and gender.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:To examine the factor structure of the 144-item Chinese version of the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI) and its association with age and gender in a large non-clinical population. METHOD:We recruited 1966 non-clinical participants in China who completed the TCI Chinese version. They were randomly divided into two independent samples. One sample (n=983) was used for exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and the other (n=983) for confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). RESULTS:An EFA suggested a four-factor structure for temperament domains and a three-factor structure for character domains. This was confirmed by a CFA. Women showed significantly higher scores on harm avoidance, reward dependence, co-operativeness, and self-transcendence than men. Age affected every subscale expect for reward dependence. CONCLUSION:The factor structure of the Chinese TCI was similar to the original factor structure, with some differences reflecting the culture of a Chinese population.
