“…Kenny, Albright, Malloy & Kashy, 1994; but see Penton-Voak et al, 2006) and may in any case result from the self-fulfilling prophecy (whereby the stereotype drives the development of the behavior). There is, however, evidence that personality traits, such as high agreeableness, conscientiousness and openness to experience are related to better reported health (Korotkov & Hannah, 2004). Although these personality traits do not directly relate to the traits studied here, it may be fair to loosely equate agreeableness with warmth and to link dominance with extraversion.…”

“…The authors wanted to determine if the NEO-FFI was a reliable and valid assessment tool. They found adequate estimates of internal consistency, factorial validity, and self-informant correlation that supported its use with this population 10,11 . Significant psychological distress is commonly seen in MS patients.…”

This article describes some prevalent personality dimensions of recently diagnosed multiple sclerosis patients. A sample of 33 female recently diagnosed with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) was assessed with the NEO-FFI personality scale. Beck depression (BDI) and anxiety (BAI) scales were also used. No significant levels of anxiety or depression were identified in this group. As for personality factors, conscientiousness was the most common factor found, whereas openness to experience was the least observed. Literature on the relationship between personality and MS is scarce and there are no Brazilian studies on this subject. Some personality traits might complicate or facilitate the experience of living with a chronic, disabling and uncertain neurological condition such as MS.Keywords: multiple sclerosis, personality, NEO-FFI. RESUMOEste artigo descreve alguns traços prevalentes de personalidade em pacientes com esclerose múltipla recém-diagnosticada. Uma amostra de 33 mulheres recentemente diagnosticadas com a forma clínica remitente-recorrente da esclerose múltipla (EMRR) foi avaliada com a escala de personalidade NEO-FFI. As escalas de Beck de depressão e de ansiedade também foram usadas. Não foram identificados níveis significativos de ansiedade ou depressão neste grupo. Em relação aos fatores de personalidade, a conscienciosidade se mostrou como o traço mais prevalente, enquanto a abertura à experiência foi o menos observado nesta amostra. A literatura acerca desta relação esclerose múltipla-personalidade é pouco expressiva e não há estudos brasileiros sobre este tema. Acredita-se que alguns traços de personalidade possam dificultar ou facilitar a experiência de estar vivendo com uma condição neurológica crônica, incapacitante e de curso incerto como a esclerose múltipla.Palavras-chave: esclerose múltipla, personalidade, NEO-FFI.

“…Establishing the impact of personality on 33 health outcomes is challenging to determine due to the interrelatedness between personality traits. Single-trait questionnaires such as the Life Orientation Test may be insufficient to capture the complexity of personality, and make it challenging to determine whether a personality trait is independent, works interactively with other traits to impact health, or is redundant (Korotkov & Hannah, 2004). Our conclusions relating to personality and fatigue are therefore limited by a small quantity of studies, focused on independent traits, rather than the broader spectrum of personality.…”

Fatigue is common and debilitating in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). A focus on the psychological variables associated with fatigue may help to identify targets for intervention which could enhance the treatment of fatigue in RA. The purpose of this review was to systematically identify psychological variables related to fatigue in RA, with the overall aim of suggesting evidence-based targets for fatigue intervention in RA. Twenty-nine studies met inclusion criteria and were included in the narrative synthesis. A wide range of psychological variables were addressed, spanning 6 categories: affect and common mental disorders; RArelated cognitions; non-RA-related cognitions; personality traits; stress and coping; and social support/interpersonal relationships. The most consistent relationship was found between mood and fatigue, with low mood frequently associated with increased fatigue. Some evidence also highlighted the relationship between RA-related cognitions (such as RA selfefficacy) and fatigue, and non-RA-cognitions (such as goal ownership) and fatigue. Limited evidence was found to support the relationship between stress and coping or personality traits and fatigue, although mixed evidence was found for the relationship between social support and fatigue. The results of this review suggest the interventions for fatigue in RA may benefit from a focus on mental health, and disease-related cognitions.
