Introduction

Temperament is a typical and stable dynamic characteristic of mental activity that an individual is born with, and is the innate basis of personality. Edit Paragraph Classification

Edit Paragraph I. Hippocrates' Theory of Bodily Fluids

Hippocrates was a famous doctor in ancient Greece, who believed that bodily fluids are the material basis of the nature of the human body. He developed the "four roots" into "four fluids" on the basis of further systematization. Hippocrates believed that there were four types of fluids with different properties in the human body, which came from different organs. Among them, mucus is born in the brain, which is the root of water and has the nature of cold; yellow bile is born in the liver, which is the root of qi and has the nature of heat; black bile is born in the stomach, which is the root of earth and has the nature of gradual warmth; and blood comes from the heart, which is the root of fire and has the nature of dryness. The different constitution of man is due to the different proportions of the four humors. Grimm (Galen) (Galen ,130-200) was a master of ancient European medicine and a famous biologist and psychologist during the Roman Empire. He created the doctrine of temperament from Hippocrates' theory of humors, which he considered to be a combination of different properties of substances (or juices). At that time he said there were 13 types of temperament***. On this basis, the temperament theory continues to develop, becoming the classic four temperaments: polycythemia extroverted, lively and active, sociable; quick thinking; easy to accept new things; emotional feelings are easy to produce but also easy to change and disappear, easy to reveal; experience is not profound and so on. Mucous Emotionally stable, patient, strong self-confidence. Depressive Introverted, slow to speak and act, indecisive. Cholestatic Quickly reactive, emotions sometimes intense and impulsive, very outgoing. Edit this paragraph II, body type said

Body type said by the German psychiatrist Kretschmer (E. Kretschmer) proposed. Based on his clinical observation of psychiatric patients, he believed that human temperament types could be divided according to body type. According to the characteristics of body type, he divided people into three types, namely, plump type, long and thin type, and sinewy type. For example, the fat type produces manic temperament, and its action tends to be sociable, lively expression, passionate, easy-going, etc.; the long and thin type produces split temperament, and its action tends to be unsociable, withdrawn, neurotic, and thoughtful, etc.; the sinewy type produces adhesive temperament, and its action tends to be obsessive, conscientious, slow to comprehend, and impulsive in behavior, etc.. He believed that the three body types were associated with the incidence of different psychiatric disorders. W.H. Sheldon, an American psychologist, believed that the germinal lobe, the basic component in the formation of the body type, was closely related to the human temperament. He categorized temperament into three types based on the degree of development of a person's outer, middle, and inner germ lobes. Endodermal lobe type: plump and fat. Characterized by comfort, good food, good sleep, will find easy things to do, sociable, easy-going behavior. Mesodermal: muscular, firm, with a rectangular body shape. Characterized by arbitrariness, overconfidence, robustness, initiative and aggressiveness. Ectodermal Lobe Type: tall and detailed, with a frail physique. Characterized by good self-control, a special love of art and inclination to intellectual activity, sensitivity and quick reaction. Works enthusiastically and responsibly, sleeps poorly and is easily fatigued. Although the body type theory reveals some consistency between body type and temperament, it does not explain the mechanism of the relationship between body type and temperament, whether the body type has a direct or indirect effect on temperament, and whether the relationship between the two is a cascade or a causal relationship. In addition, the results of the study were mainly obtained from patients rather than normals, and therefore lacked a certain degree of scientific validity. Edit this paragraph three, hormone said

Hormone said the physiologist Berman (Berman) proposed. He believed that the characteristics of human temperament is closely related to the activities of endocrine glands. This theory divides people into thyroid type, pituitary type, adrenal secretion activity type and so on, according to which endocrine gland's activity is dominant in the body. For example, thyroid-type people are physically strong, sensitive, strong-willed, capricious and subjective, and overconfident; pituitary-type people are gentle, meticulous and patient, and have a strong sense of self-control. Modern physiological research has proved that, from the point of view of neurological and humoral regulation, the influence of endocrine gland activity on temperament cannot be ignored. But the hormone said over-emphasized the importance of hormones, thus ignoring the nervous system, especially the higher nervous system activity characteristics of the temperament of the important impact, there is no lack of one-sided tendency. Edit this paragraph four, blood type said

Blood type said is the Japanese scholar Furukawa bamboo two and other people's point of view. They believe that temperament is determined by different blood types, blood type A, B, AB, O, corresponding temperament can also be divided into A, B, AB and O. A temperament is characterized by mild, honest and stable, suspicious, submissive, dependent on others, emotionally impulsive. B-type temperament is characterized by sensitive senses, calm, not afraid of shyness, happy to socialize, meddling in other people's business. AB-type temperament is characterized by a mixture of both. Type O temperament is characterized as strong-willed, aggressive, domineering, likes to command others, bold, and unwilling to suffer. This viewpoint is also lack of scientific basis. Edit this paragraph V. Activity Characteristics

Activity Characteristics is the view of American psychologist A.H. Bass. He used the characteristics of response activities, namely, activity, emotional, social and impulsive as an indicator of the division of temperament, thus distinguishing four types of temperament. Active temperament people are always the first to meet the new task, love to move, tireless; infants show always move their hands and feet, children show in the classroom can not sit, and adults show a strong sense of enterprise. Emotional temperament is characterized by a high level of arousal and intensity of response; frequent crying in infancy, agitation and difficulty in getting along in childhood, and moodiness in adulthood. Individuals with social temperaments crave close contact with others; in infancy they show a demand for the presence of their mothers and acquaintances, they cry when alone, in childhood they show susceptibility to educational influences, and in adulthood they get along well with those around them. People with impulsive temperament lack inhibition; in infancy they show a tendency to wait for their mother to feed them, etc., in childhood they show frequent fidgeting and a tendency to be distracted, and in adulthood they show an aversion to waiting and a tendency to act without thinking. The use of activity characteristics to differentiate temperament types is a new trend that has emerged in recent years, although what the physiological basis of activity characteristics is has not been revealed. It is now generally recognized in our psychological community that the physiological mechanism of temperament is neurotypical.
