General Description

Affective Temperament Questionnaire is a self-report instrument composed by 15 items organised in 3 subscales (Hyperthermia, Cyclothymic and Dysthymic), with each item answered on a 3-point scale (0 = not at all; 1 = somewhat; 2 = very much so), thus having a score between 0-30; it is suitable for clinical and non-clinical samples, with high scores in the subscales indicating possible vulnerabilities to mood disorders.
