Resumo:This research investigated the possible correlation among temperament, neuroticism and self - esteem. The sample was composed by 42 students from 19 to 21 years, who answered the Emotional Adjustment /Neuroticism Factorial Scales , Pavlovian Temperament Survey and Rosenberg’s Self-esteem. Obtained results indicated significant negative correlation between the dimension Strength of Excitement (Pavlovian Temperament Survey) and the dimensions vulnerability and anxiety (Emotional Adjustment/NeuroticismFactorial Scales), significant negative correlation between the Strength of Inhibition (Pavlovian Temperament Survey) and the anxiety of Emotional Adjustment/Neuroticism Factorial Scales, and positive correlation between the Mobility (Pavlovian Temperament Survey) maladjustment psychosocial (Emotional Adjustment/Neuroticism Factorial Scales). There was no significant correlation between PavlovianTemperament Survey and Self-esteem Scale. The correlation between Emotional Adjustment/Neuroticism Factorial and Self-esteem Scales presented significant negative correlation in vulnerability, anxiety and depression dimensions. These results are important to the development and implantation of intervention and prevention programs. Also, they bring up the different personality characteristics.
