Personality is associated with health, but examinations in patients with illnesses are lacking. We aimed to determine whether personality-physical health associations differed between community and cancer samples. This cross-sectional study involved 168 participants without cancer, 212 men with prostate cancer, and 55 women with breast cancer. We examined whether the Big Five personality dimensions were associated with health behaviors and multiple health indicators. Higher conscientiousness and lower neuroticism were associated with better health behaviors and health ( = .31), with few differences between community and cancer samples. Findings call for research on the implications of personality in patients with serious illnesses.
人格与健康有关，但对患病患者的检查却缺乏。我们旨在确定人格与身体健康的关联是否在社区和癌症样本中有所不同。这项横断面研究涉及 168 名无癌症的参与者、212 名男性前列腺癌患者和 55 名女性乳腺癌患者。我们研究了大五人格维度是否与健康行为和多个健康指标相关。更高的尽责性和更低的神经质与更好的健康行为和健康相关（ = .31），社区和癌症样本之间的差异不大。这些发现呼吁对严重疾病患者的人格影响进行研究。
