The purpose of the studies was to search for personality correlates of psychosocial adjustment of chronic disease patients. The group of 246 male patients with coronary heart disease was included into the studies. Correlations were analysed between the intensity of some selected personal traits, the intensity of limitations resulting from the disease process and its therapy, and the level of patients’ psychosocial adjustment and well-being. The studies have confirmed that the neuroticism, extraversion and openness are the essential correlates of the adjustment. In order to predict the psychosocial adjustment of chronic patients accurately, it is necessary to consider some variables connected with the disease. They can be the independent predicators of the adjustment, they can also modify the adjustment level when interacting with personality variables.
