Virtues in action are related to the integration of both temperament and character: Comparing the VIA classification of virtues and Cloninger's biopsychosocial model of personality

Paulo A. S. Moreira et al.

Summary: Evidence suggests that the virtues of self-control, caring, and inquisitiveness are socially-construed notions of desirable behaviors. People with positive development of all three character traits tend to be the most virtuous.

Three genetic-environmental networks for human personality

Igor Zwir et al.

Summary: Studies suggest that human personality is the integrated expression of three major systems of learning and memory. Research in Finland, Germany, and Korea found that temperament and character are integrated within three disjoint networks regulated by nearly disjoint sets of genetic and environmental influences.

Student engagement with school and personality: a biopsychosocial and person-centred approach

Paulo A. S. Moreira et al.

Summary: Engagement with school is a key predictor of academic outcomes for students, but little is known about its association with personality. This study used Cloninger's biopsychosocial model of personality to identify different personality networks that are linked to student engagement. The findings suggest that different personality configurations underlie student engagement, with implications for educational policies and practices.

Personality Networks and Emotional and Behavioral Problems: Integrating Temperament and Character Using Latent Profile and Latent Class Analyses

Paulo A. S. Moreira et al.

Summary: Recent research suggests that adaptive functioning and well-being in adolescents depend on the integration of learning and memory systems regulating associative conditioning, intentionality, and self-awareness. Different integrated configurations of these systems are associated with internalizing and externalizing problems. Adolescents with stable temperament and healthy characters are less likely to have clinical problems, and the integration of these profiles is crucial for mental health.
