Abstract
A review of the literature shows that there is a growing interest in temperament that has developed in parallel to studies of emotion. The author adopts a historical perspective on the relationship between temperament and emotion and shows the place of emotion in current research on temperament. From this point of view, emotion may be considered as a trait mostly identified as emotionality (six different conceptions of emotionality have been proposed), as a specific affective-motivational process, as a hedonic tone determined by specific limbic structures, and as a behavioral characteristic described in terms of intensity and temporal parameters. Some theories of temperament concentrate only on one of the roles of emotion mentioned above, whereas in other theories several roles of emotion are exposed.
