The aim of this study is to assess whether different affective temperaments, age and gender are associated with specific film genre preference.

An online survey was administered to 689 adult subjects. We assessed the film genre preference on a Likert scale and affective temperament traits using the self-report questionnaire Temperament Evaluation of Memphis, Pisa, Paris and San Diego (TEMPS-A) short-version scale.

The scale showed acceptable psychometric properties. Results showed that cyclothymic temperament correlated positively with horror movie, depressive temperament correlated negatively with animation and positively with horror film, irritable temperament correlated negatively with animation and romance and positively with horror genre, hyperthymic trait correlated positively with comedy and musical genre, and anxious trait correlated negatively with documentary, thriller, action, and adult genres. Based on the population sampled, we concluded that stable, genetically conditioned styles of emotional reaction (temperaments) can predict film preference.

这项研究的目的是评估不同的情感气质，年龄和性别是否与特定的电影类型偏好有关。

对689名成人受试者进行了在线调查。我们使用自我报告调查问卷《孟菲斯，比萨，巴黎和圣地亚哥的气质评估》（TEMPS-A）短版量表，以李克特量表和情感性情特征对电影类型偏好进行了评估。

该量表显示出可接受的心理测量特性。结果表明，胸腺气质与恐怖电影呈正相关，抑郁气质与动画呈负相关，与恐怖电影呈正相关，易怒的气质与动画和浪漫史呈负相关，与恐怖类型呈正相关，高胸腺特质与喜剧和音乐流派呈正相关，焦虑特质与纪录片，惊悚片，动作片和成人类型负相关。根据抽样人群，我们得出结论，情绪反应（气质）的稳定，遗传条件稳定的风格可以预测电影的喜好。
