The Relationship

Past research has suggested that people who suffer traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) share distinctive personality traits that may place them at risk for poor rehabilitation outcomes, yet virtually no research has addressed the relationship of personality to long-term outcomes after SCI. Responses to the Multidimensional Personality Questionnaire (MPQ) and the Life Situation Questionnaire (LSQ) were obtained from 242 participants with SCI. Participants were classified into one of three groups: (1) gainfully employed, (2) productive-unemployed (i.e., students, volunteers, homemakers), and (3) nonproductive-unemployed. The employed participants scored significantly higher than the nonproductive-unemployed group on Achievement, Control, Positive Affectivity and Constraint; and lower on Alienation and Aggression. The productive-unemployed participants also scored significantly higher than the nonproductive-unemployed group on Control and lower on Stress, Alienation and Negative Affectivity. Their Stress scores were also lower than those of employed participants. These results suggested that traits often associated with SCI onset are correlated with poor personal adjustment and nonproductivity after SCI. These results are a testament to the importance of personality to adaptation after traumatic disability.
