Objective Based on the Chinese full version of the Temperament Evaluation of Memphis Pisa Paris and San Diego-Auto questionnaire ( TEMPS-A) , we aimed to validated a short version of TEMPS-A for Chinese adoles-cents.Methods Taking into account the item factor loading from our previously validated full version TEMPS-A, cultur-ally-determined items, and sexual activity related items, we derived a 60-item Chinese TEMPS-A for adolescents.The internal consistency and structural validity of the Chinese TEMPS-A for adolescents was evaluated in 822 participants aged 11~17 years old.Results The Cronbach’ s alphas coefficients for depressive, cyclothymic, hyperthymic, irritable and anxious subscales were 0.67, 0.78, 0.76, 0.77 and 0.83, respectively.The anxious, irritable, hyperthymic factors were effectively distinguished by exploratory factor analysis, while the depressive and cyclothymic factors tended to correlate.The males scored significantly higher on the hyperthymic subscale than the females [(5.407 ±2.842) vs.(4.852 ±2.963), P<0.01].The females scored significantly higher on the depressive [(3.521 ±2.221) vs.(3.144 ±2.295)], cyclothy-mic [(4.484 ±2.922) vs.(3.917 ±2.823)] and anxious [(5.236 ±3.719) vs.(4.366 ±3.658)] temperaments than the males ( P<0.05) .The scores of depressive subscale and cyclothymic temperaments subscale were significantly correla-ted (r=0.625, P<0.001), so did the scores of anxious subscale and irritable temperament subscale (r=0.628, P<0.001).Conclusions The Chinese Adolescent version of TEMPS-A is a reliable and valid instrument for investigating af-fective temperaments for adolescents.%目的根据情感气质自评问卷中文版，修订更适合青少年群体的情感气质自评问卷青少年中文版，并检验其信度及效度。方法基于之前修订的情感气质自评问卷中文版每个条目的因子负荷，并考虑青少年期的心理发展特点、各个因子条目数量以及内容适应性等因素，最后形成60条目的情感气质自评问卷青少年中文版，对822名11～17岁青少年进行问卷调查，评估该问卷内部一致性信度、结构效度，并比较各因子的性别差异。结果抑郁气质、环性气质、情感旺盛气质、易激惹气质以及焦虑气质因子条目的Cranbach’ s α系数分别为0.67、0.78、0.76、0.77及0.83。探索性因子分析显示焦虑气质、易激惹气质、情感旺盛气质因子可有效区分，而抑郁气质与环性气质的条目则混合在一起。女性在抑郁气质[（3.521±2.221）vs．（3.144±2.295）]、环性气质[（4.484±2.922） vs．（3.917±2.823）]、焦虑气质[（5.236±3.719）vs．（4.366±3.658）]因子的得分高于男性（P＜0.05），而男性情感旺盛气质因子得分则高于女性[（5.407±2.842）vs.（4.852±2.963），P＜0.01]。抑郁气质与环性气质因子得分呈正相关（r＝0.625，P＜0.001），焦虑气质与易激惹气质因子得分呈正相关（r＝0.628，P＜0.001）。结论情感气质自评问卷青少年中文版具有一定的内部一致性信度及结构效度，适用于中国青少年群体情感气质的测量。
