“…For example, highly reward dependent individuals should be continuously positively reinforced [32]; whilst the treatment of patients who are high novelty seekers should be process-oriented, without the setting of clearly defined targets, in order to encourage their own activity. On the other hand, low novelty seekers require clearly defined targets from the rehabilitation team; and highly self-directed individuals can be guided to a more autonomous rehabilitation in contrast to low self-directed patients who are in need of more frequent contact with the therapists who need to motivate the patients to achieve their targets and complete their rehabilitation.…”

Background. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationships between personality and quality of life during the course of geriatric rehabilitation, against the background of Cloninger's biosocial theory of personality. Methods. All consecutive patients of a geriatric rehabilitation clinic during one year were evaluated at admission and discharge (N = 687) by means of the ‘‘Vienna List’’ (a newly developed questionnaire for the assessment of quality of life in patients with severe dementia), and two variants of the Temperament and Character Inventory. Results. Self-directedness showed the most general and highest impact on quality of life and successful rehabilitation. Conclusions. It is probable in old and very old individuals who are on their highest level of maturity that the character represents the most important regulatory system in the encounter with challenges of daily life, which necessitates rehabilitation.
