Background and Objective: Temperament, as the bio-emotional foundation of personality, plays a key role in emotional regulation and treatment response. However, classical stability-oriented models inadequately represent psychological fluctuations and transitional states. This study aimed to introduce the "neutrosophic temperament model" as a dynamic framework for analyzing growth, indeterminacy, and regression in personality in clinical settings.
Materials and Methods: This study is of a theoretical-conceptual nature and has been conducted using conceptual analysis and theoretical synthesis. The proposed model conceptualizes temperament as three coexisting components: evolution, indeterminacy, and involution. This structure allows partial and simultaneous membership in multiple temperamental states, facilitates the analysis of ambivalent behaviors and non-linear changes, and uses the representation T=(E, I, V) to model personality dynamics.
Results: The neutrosophic model overcomes limitations of classical and Big Five theories by accounting for context-dependent variability and psychological indeterminacy, enabling the analysis of developmental trajectories, instability, and temporary regressions in personality.
Conclusion: This model can provide a theoretical framework for assessment, case formulation, and the design of stage-based interventions. By integrating growth, ambiguity, and regression, it offers a more realistic understanding of personality dynamics in clinical settings. Empirical validation and the development of multidimensional assessment tools will be essential steps for examining the clinical applicability of this model.
