AI Article Synopsis
- The study explores the relationship between seasonality and affective temperament in patients with bipolar disorder (BD-I).
- A sample of 66 stable (euthymic) patients was assessed using specific questionnaires, revealing that about 39.4% of them experienced seasonal symptoms.
- Results indicated that patients with seasonal patterns exhibited higher depressive and anxious temperament scores, suggesting that understanding affective temperament could be important for managing BD in relation to seasonal changes.
Article Abstract
Background: Both affective temperaments and seasonality impact on the illness course in bipolar disorder (BD). This exploratory study aims to investigate the link between seasonality and affective temperament in BD.
Subjects And Methods: Sixty-six euthymic patients with BD-I were recruited. The Seasonal Pattern Assessment Questionnaire (SPAQ) and Temperament Evaluation Memphis, Pisa, Paris and San Diego-Autoquestionnaire version scale (TEMPS-A) were applied.
Results: The seasonal BD rate was 39.4% (n=26). Depressive and anxious temperament scores were higher in patients with seasonality. The SPAQ total scores were also associated with depressive, cyclothymic, and anxious affective temperament scores.
Conclusion: Our findings warrant further investigation to understanding the complex interaction between seasonality, mood regulation, and temperament collectively moderating illness course in BD. This study implies that affective temperament may have some value in discerning the link between seasonality and illness course in BD.

Is temperament associated with academic school readiness in children born very preterm?
Early Educ Dev

Department of Pediatrics, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center.
Research Findings: Temperament, which can be assessed as early as three months, is associated with school readiness and later academic achievement in children born full term. Although children born preterm demonstrate a dysregulated temperament and are at significant risk for lower school readiness, we found no studies investigating whether early temperament is associated with school readiness in this at-risk population. Investigating whether temperament is a precursor of academic risk in preterm children can facilitate early identification and possible intervention efforts.
