- Abstract
Temperament is said to be more functionally related to behavior then the structural view of personality. This research describes an attempt to develop a temperament scale for the use of clinical and research with student population. In Phase I, different temperaments were elicited from 40 university students (20 males and 20 females). Phase II comprised the expert validation of final collated list of 60 items. After pilot study, 441 university students (M 20.91, SD 1.83) were given Student Temperament Scale (STS) and Big Five Inventory (BFI, Benet-Martinez & John, 1998). The exploratory factor analysis produced six factors namely Apprehension, Impulsivity, Cautiousness, Introversion, Submissiveness and Extroversion. The scale had high face, construct, and concurrent validity along with high test retest reliability scores and internal consistency. The results are discussed in cultural implication of temperament in student counseling service.
