title: The French version of the validated short TEMPS-A: the temperament evaluation of Memphis, Pisa, Paris and San Diego.
abstract: The TEMPS developed from classical temperament concepts at the Universities of Tennessee (Memphis) and California (San Diego) in collaboration with clinical scientists in Pisa and Paris. It presently exists in 20 languages and full validation of its 110-item version has been accomplished in American English, Italian, French, German, Hungarian, Japanese, Turkish, Lebanese Arabic and Argentinean Spanish. For many studies, a shorter version is easier to use. Accordingly, the 39-item validated English version has just been rendered into French, to facilitate clinical use and research in Francophone countries.
