The Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI) is an internationally widely used personality
questionnaire based on Cloninger’s personality theory. Due to some psychometric shortcomings of
the TCI a revised version’ TCI-R was developed. The structural equivalence of both versions
could be demonstrated from a cross-cultural perspective. Probably, due to the high complexity of
many items, the response variation was often limited. Therefore, a true-false answer-format was
tested on the TCI-R in non-clinical volunteers from Germany, Norway, and Sweden. In testing the
replicability of the factors both across the samples and versions, an orthogonal Procrustes rotation
method is used.
3063.17 Reliability and validity of the Japanese-translated Behavioral Inhibition System /
Behavioral Activation System (BIS/BAS) Scale, Yusuke Takahashi 1 , Osamu Kobori 1 , Shinji

Gray (1972, 1981) proposed two personality dimensions defined by variation in Behavioral
Inhibition System (BIS) and Behavioral Activation System (BAS) sensitivities. Carver & White
(1994) created self-report scales to assess the personality dimensions reflecting Gray’s ideas. The
purpose of this study was to develop the Japanese version of those scales, to examine the
reliability and validity. We reported scale development in Study1, and investigated convergent and
discriminant validity in the form of correlations with alternative measures in Study2. The results
of this study indicated that the Japanese version of BIS/BAS scales possessed an adequate
reliability and validity.
3063.18 Comparison of the full length MMPI-2 and the short form 92-item Mini-Clinique,
Bogdan Pietrulewicz, Laval University, Canada
This study is a comparison obtained between the standard MMPI-2 test and the short form of 92
items named Mini-Clinique for a sample of 46 males and 49 females from the normal population.
This research confirmed the applicability of both methods in psychometrical diagnostics. The
predictions generated by 92 items can be judged adequate. Correlations for the final sample of 95
subjects between both forms ranged from .58 (Scale D) to .80 (Scale Si) and are satisfactory. In
general there was a close correspondence between data of the two forms. Mini-Clinique is a
reliable substitute when time economy is essential.
3063.19 Japanese adaptation of Ego-Resiliency Scale, Tatsuma Nakao, Kazuo Kato, Kyushu
University, Japan
Ego-Resiliency (ER) is one of the most important personal resources that allow people to adjust to
environment effectively (J. Block & Block, 1980). Although its importance has been increasingly
acknowledged in Japan, there are no ER scales in Japanese, especially of self-report type. This
