“…Personality is believed to affect QOL because it influences the way people approach situations and react to stressful situations [15][16][17][18]. Most research on the relations between the Big Five and QOL has focused on adult patient groups (e.g., cancer, HIV, and psychiatric disorders) [19][20][21][22]. To our knowledge, only two studies investigated the relation between the Big Five and QOL in pediatric patients; one study on children and adolescents surviving cancer [23], the other on children and adolescents with unintentional injuries [16].…”

“…Many personality theorists argue for the presence of five superordinate factors which are viewed as being fundamental to the description of personality differences: Extraversion, Neuroticism/Emotional Stability, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, and Openness to experience (also called Intellect/Imagination). High levels of Neuroticism and/or low levels of Extraversion are related to lower QoL in patients with a variety of health disorders [27][28][29], in psychiatric outpatients [30] and in middle-aged adults [31]. Duberstein et al [32] found that this relationship prevailed even after controlling for observer-rated depression and objective indicators of medical burden.…”

“…Substantial correlations between the sum result on CI and four domains on WHOQOL-BREF were as follows: psychological health (-0.42); environment (-0.46); physical health (-0.49), and social relationships (-0.58). Other authors found a similar negative correlation between neuroticism and the quality of life, irrespective of what questionnaire or test was used for personality assessment (15)(16)(17). Persons who had higher emotional stability scores perceived their own lives better in quality, reported fewer symptoms related to SBS, and were more satisfi ed with work organisation.…”

“…A recent study by Van De Ven and Engels (36) showed that adolescents with asthma, high extraversion and low neuroticism scores reported better overall quality of life. In a large sample of psychiatric outpatients, Masthoff et al (15) found that the quality of life correlated negatively with neuroticism and positively with extraversion. Den Oudsten et al (37) noticed that high neuroticism, among other factors, predicted depressive symptoms in patients 12 months after surgical treatment of early-stage breast cancer.…”
