  • Descrição: •Affective temperaments play a significant role in the clinical presentation and evolution of mood episodes and influence course of illness, symptoms’ severity and response to treatments.•The TEMPS instrument has been extensively used to assess affective temperaments.•The short TEMPS-M with 35 self-rating items on a Likert scale, can be used to assess the five affective temperaments thereby improving its clinical and research utility.•The present paper aims to assess psychometric proprieties of the short version of TEMPS-M in a clinical sample of patients with bipolar I, II or cyclothymic disorders.•the Italian 35-item TEMPS-M has shown good psychometric properties in terms of reliability and validity and it is characterized by a dimensional structure, supporting the concept of the bipolar spectrum. To assess psychometric proprieties of the short version of TEMPS-M in an Italian clinical sample of patients with bipolar disorder type I (BDI), type II (BDI) or cyclothymic disorder (CYC). All participants were recruited in two Italian university sites. They were asked to complete the Italian version of the short TEMPS-M, consisting of 35 items on a five-point Likert scale ranging from 1 to 5. The factorial structure of the instrument was assessed by principal components analysis with varimax rotation. The reliability of the subscales was assessed with Cronbach's alpha. The 815 recruited patients had a diagnosis of BDI (430), CYC (227) or BDII (158); 60% of them were female and with a mean age of 44.4 (±14.6) years. Cronbach's alpha coefficients of subscales ranged from 0.808 to 0.898. The factor analysis confirmed five dimensions (depressive, cyclothymic, hyperthymic, irritable, anxious), as in the English version of the scale. All temperaments were more represented in CYC than in BDI patients. Depressive and anxious temperaments were more represented in BDII than in BDI; the hyperthymic temperament was represented more in BDI than in BDII patients. No other assessment instrument was used as a reference to assess the external or predictive validity of TEMPS-M; several socio-demographic and clinical characteristics have not been assessed. The Italian version of the short TEMPS-M shows good reliability and validity. It might be used in clinical and research settings, for the dimensional exploration of the investigated domains.
