“…They focused on adult diabetic patients because of the extensive self-management necessary to manage this disease, including daily injections of insulin, regulation of food intake, the monitoring of glucose levels (often including journal entries), and daily life-style choices. Indeed, abundant research shows that the successful management of diabetes requires high levels of C (Lawson, Bundy, Belcher, & Harvey, 2010;Skinner, Hampson, & Fife-Schaw, 2002;Vollrath et al, 2007). Yet, their study points to diverse mechanisms by which C behaviors likely yield more efficacious management of diabetes in the upper/middle-class clinic ("Park Clinic") than in the workingclass/uninsured clinic ("County Clinic"), illustrating how social circumstances apparently moderate the impact of C behaviors, and also the value of such ethnographic studies.…”

The Conscientiousness (C) of the self and significant others influences health by way of mediational chains involving socioeconomic attainment, the avoidance and neutralization of stressors, the promotion of health behaviors and the minimization of risk behaviors, and the management of symptoms and diseases. Yet, meta-analyses reveal that these associations are moderated by factors that are not well understood. We propose the Life Course of Personality Model (LCP Model), which comprises a series of hypotheses that suggest how such mediational chains are subject to 2 sources of contingency. First, the mechanisms by which C translates into health and the avoidance of risk change from early childhood to late adulthood, involving processes that are specific to phases of the life course; also, however, C influences health by way of continuous processes extending over many decades of life. Second, C may be more consequential in some social contexts than in others, and when accompanied by some constellations of personality characteristics than by others. That is, the mediational processes by which C translates into health and the avoidance of disease are likely moderated by timing, social context (including the C of others), and other aspects of the individual's personality. We consider methodological implications of the LCP Model.

“…It can lead to violation of social norms (Cooper, Wood, Orcutt, & Albino, 2003;Lynam, 1996) and thereby to interpersonal conflict. The potential adverse results range widely, including disruption of marital stability (Kelly & Conley, 1987), job performance (Hogan & Holland, 2003), and health-maintaining behaviors (Bogg & Roberts, 2004;Hampson, Andrews, Barckley, Lichtenstein, & Lee, 2000;Hampson, Severson, Burns, Slovic, & Fisher, 2001; T. C. Skinner, Hampson, & Fife-Schaw, 2002). Thus, consistent expression of impulses without regard to the future and without regard to the needs of others can adversely affect both individual well-being and social relations (Tangney, Baumeister, & Boone, 2004).…”

“…Both coping and illness perceptions have been found to mediate the relationship between personality and health 17 outcomes in adolescents with other chronic diseases such as Type 1 diabetes and asthma [12,48,49]. Although a recent study demonstrated the predictive value of patients' illness perceptions for their quality of life two years later [50], very few studies to date have focused on the illness perceptions and coping strategies of individuals with CHD.…”

A Big Five Personality Typology in Adolescents with Congenital Heart Disease: Prospective Associations with Psychosocial Functioning and Perceived Health

On behalf of the i-DETACH investigatorsCorresponding AbstractPurpose. This study aimed (1) to identify different personality types in adolescents with congenital heart disease (CHD); and (2) to relate these personality types to psychosocial functioning and several domains of perceived health, both concurrently and prospectively.Hence, this study aimed to expand previous research by adopting a person-centered approach to personality through focusing on personality types rather than singular traits.Methods. Adolescents with CHD were selected from the database of pediatric and congenital cardiology of the University Hospitals Leuven. A total of 366 adolescents (15-20 years old) with CHD participated at Time 1. These adolescents completed questionnaires on the Big Five personality traits, depressive symptoms, loneliness, and generic and disease-specific domains of health. Nine months later, 313 patients again completed questionnaires.Results. Cluster analysis at Time 1 revealed three personality types: Resilients (37%), Undercontrollers (34%), and Overcontrollers (29%), closely resembling typologies obtained in previous community samples. Resilients, Under-and Overcontrollers did not differ in terms of disease complexity, but differed on depressive symptoms, loneliness, and generic and disease-specific domains of perceived health at both time-points. Overall, Resilients showed the most favorable outcomes and Overcontrollers the poorest, with Undercontrollers scoring in-between.Conclusions. Personality assessment can help clinicians in identifying adolescents at risk for physical and psychosocial difficulties later in time. In this study, both Over-and Undercontrollers were identified as high risk groups. Our findings show that both personality traits and types should be taken into account to obtain a detailed view on the associations between personality and health.Heart defects, congenital; Personality types; Big Five; Cluster analysis; Adolescence; Chronic disease. 4Recent advances in pediatric medicine have led to a dramatic decrease in the mortality rate of many once fatal chronic diseases [1]. It is estimated that more than 90% of children born with a chronic disease now survive to the age of 20 [2]. The emergence of this population poses many new challenges to health care. Although major differences exist in how youngsters cope with their disease, a recent meta-analysis has shown that adolescents with a chronic disease report more depressive symptoms as compared to their healthy peers [3]. In addition, research has shown that young adults with a chronic disease have worse educational and vocational outcomes as compared to their peers [2]. In the present study, we focus on adolescents with congenital heart disease (CHD), being the most common birth defect (9:1000 births) and comprising a wide spectrum of simple, moderate, and complex structural heart lesions [4]. Adolescents with CHD are at increased risk for developing medical complications later in life, such as arrhythmias, pulmonary hypertension, or heart...
