Research on vocational dysfunction in schizophrenia has as yet only examined associated features of illness. We hypothesized that personality variables may be also associated with work function. We reasoned that higher levels of extraversion and neuroticism would predict poor function by virtue of the social support seeking and passive/avoidant coping styles associated with each. To test this, multiple regressions were conducted in which measures of extraversion and neuroticism predicted work performance among 43 subjects with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. Higher levels of extraversion and neuroticism significantly predicted poorer function, accounting for between 7% and 27% of the variance in global cooperativeness, work quality, work habits and personal presentation measures of work behavior. The potential importance of assessing personality in rehabilitation is discussed.
关于精神分裂症职业功能障碍的研究至今仅考察了疾病的相关特征。我们假设人格变量可能也与工作功能相关。我们推断，外向性和神经质水平较高会因其各自相关的寻求社会支持以及被动/回避应对方式而预示功能较差。为检验这一点，我们进行了多元回归分析，以外向性和神经质测量值来预测43名精神分裂症或分裂情感性障碍患者的工作表现。外向性和神经质水平较高显著预示功能较差，在工作行为的总体合作性、工作质量、工作习惯及个人表现测量方面，解释了7%至27%的方差。文中讨论了在康复过程中评估人格的潜在重要性。
