Temperament traits and remission of depression: a naturalistic six-month longitudinal study

Cloninger (1986; 1987) put forth a biosocial theory of personality, consisting of heritable personality traits and their neurobiological bases, and proposed that the phenotypical structure of personality observed in a particular individual reflects an underlying genetic structure; both structures could change in interaction with the environment within a model including neuroanatomical and neurophysiological concepts that explain behavioral tendencies, learning styles and mechanisms of adjustment (Cloninger,  1991).
