 The current study examined the association between big five personality traits and self-rated health, SRH, among individuals with coronary heart disease, CHD. It was found that CHD patients had significantly lower conscientiousness and SRH scores compared to age and sex-matched healthy controls. Additionally, health status moderated the links between neuroticism, extroversion, and SRH. Specifically, neuroticism, openness, and conscientiousness were significant predictors of SRH and healthy controls, whereas conscientiousness and extroversion were significant predictors of SRH and CHD patients.
