Summary/Abstract: This study investigates comparison between personality of children with conduct disorder and health children using TCI-A inventory. The main purpose is to reveal differences in dimensions of personality using Cloninger’s model of personality between children with behavioural disorder and children without behavioural disorder. In addition, the emotionality and well beeing of children were measured. The research group consists of 40 children without behavioural disorder and 40 children with behavioural disorder. The quantitative methods were used – new inventory TCI-A, PANAS-C and PedsQL. The result was that the significant differences in dimensions in accordance with the Cloninger’s model of personality exist. The children with behavioural disorder score lower in HA – harm avoidance, higher in NS – novelty seeking and ST – selftranscendence. Successively, these results were confronted with the literature and it seems that the dimension NS – novelty seeking could be hopeful predictor of child behavioural disorders.
