Temperament has increasingly been a focus for study for those investigating risk factors for depression. Positive and negative emotionality are the central emotional components comprising temperament and are relatively enduring patterns of experiencing the world. The overall goal of the study was to examine the construct validity of temperamental style as a risk factor for depression using both a cross-sectional and a retrospective high-risk design. In addition, a close examination of the components of temperament was explored in order to ascertain if there is a specific component (positive emotionality or negative emotionality) that is more related to depression than the other. Self-reported temperament was related to risk for depression using a retrospective high-risk design in a sample of 474 undergraduate students. The construct validity of temperament as a risk factor was examined by correlating temperament with other purported risk factors. The results suggest that temperament represents a risk factor for depression and that this relationship is not entirely accounted for by current mood state. Temperament was significantly related to a number of other purported factors including previous history of depression, childhood risk factors (emotional abuse, emotional neglect and poor parental relationships), Axis II personality disorders (borderline and depressive personality disorder), cognitive risk, and motivational/intentional biological systems. However, it appears that contrary to predictions, high negative emotionality is the component of temperament that is most related to these established risk factors for depression, rather than low positive emotionality.
