Temperament is regarded as the precursor to personality. [15] Another interesting finding has been the link found between acting extraverted and positive affect ...
The idea of the structure of temperament separating the traits related to social-verbal, motor-physical and mental aspects of behavior was incorporated by Trofimova in the neurochemical model Functional Ensemble of Temperament that links the relationships between monoamine neurotransmitters, neuropeptides and hormonal systems to the 12 ...
