The goal of this study was to examine the effects of personality traits as measured by the NEO-PI on the quality of life (QOL) of persons with schizoaffective disorder and schizophrenia. The premise of this research is that personality traits may be important in shaping one's outlook and satisfaction with life. In a prior pilot study, personality traits were measured in persons with schizoaffective disorder and schizophrenia. In this study, the relationship between QOL and specific personality domains as assessed by the NEO-PI were studied in 21 patients. Global QOL as measured by the Lehman QOL instrument was positively correlated with Extroversion (E) and Agreeableness (A), and negatively correlated with the domain of Neuroticism (N). Global satisfaction scores were not correlated with ratings of psychoticism, paranoia or depression. These data suggest that even in psychotic conditions such as schizoaffective disorder or schizophrenia, intrapsychic factors influence one's sense of QOL. In addition, these data suggest that personality variables may differentially affect patients' satisfaction and QOL with different treatment settings.
本研究的目的是考察用NEO-PI测量的人格特质对分裂情感性障碍和精神分裂症患者生活质量（QOL）的影响。本研究的前提是人格特质在塑造一个人的人生观和生活满意度方面可能很重要。在之前的一项初步研究中，对分裂情感性障碍和精神分裂症患者的人格特质进行了测量。在本研究中，对21名患者研究了用NEO-PI评估的生活质量与特定人格领域之间的关系。用雷曼生活质量量表测量的总体生活质量与外向性（E）和宜人性（A）呈正相关，与神经质（N）领域呈负相关。总体满意度得分与精神质、偏执或抑郁评分无关。这些数据表明，即使在诸如分裂情感性障碍或精神分裂症等精神病性状况下，内心因素也会影响一个人的生活质量感。此外，这些数据表明人格变量可能会对患者在不同治疗环境下的满意度和生活质量产生不同影响。
