Russian term or phrase:
акцентуация характера
English translation:
accentuation of personality traits
Russian term
акцентуация характера
There are 134 Google Scholar hits for "accentuations of character," but they are all from Russian-speaking authors. The meaning is clear, but I wonder if there is a standard English psycho-jargon term for this.
https://vocabulary.ru/termin/akcentuacija-lichnosti.html - чрезмерная (сверх обычного уровня) выраженность тех или иных качеств личности, зачастую в ущерб другим качествам. Родоначальником теории А. л. является немецкий психолог К. Леонгард. Выраженность А. л. может быть различной — от легкой, едва заметной до крайне выраженной, граничащей с психопатией. Различными авторами (К. Леонгард, П.Б. Ганушкини др.) выделяются следующие основные типы А, л.: 1) гипертимный — чрезмерно приподнятое настроение, повышенная психическая активность; 2) гипотимный — постоянно сниженные активность и настроение; 3) циклоидный — склонность к резкой смене настроений в зависимости от обстоятельств; 4) демонстративный

Actually Leonhard was German, but that's not important. Of course Russian authors are published in "decent magazines"! The question for a translator is how an English-speaking psychologist would say this. |
