- Abstract
The study was focused on the associations between temperament features and body build, using an original self-report questionnaire and a 5SD classification of height and weight. The sample consisted of 392 female students of the University of Tartu aged from 18 to 22 years. A 5SD classification of height and weight was applied for assessment of body build. Temperament types were determined by a questionnaire and methodology developed by J. Liivamägi and previously used on a population of inpatient children in Tartu University Psychiatric Clinic and on normal pupils and students. Some interesting regularities were noticed -- different distribution of temperament types showed statistically significant difference in different height-weight classes, referring to associations with body proportions as well as variability in body size.
