The aim of the research presented here was to assess the influence of chronic disease (haemophilia) in the family on the personalities of the family members. The study group consisted of male haemophiliacs who were then compared with a group of healthy men; the elements analysed were demographic and social variables, personality traits and the awareness of controlling one’s health.The results achieved on the basis of personal questionnaire, HPI and MHLC made it possible to draw a number of interesting conclusions.It turned out that men with haemophilia were characterized by significantly lower level of readiness to establish social relationships than men from the control group.Haemophiliacs were more apt to become involved in social activities and more ready to help others as compared with healthy men. Another difference was chronically ill men were less open to spheres of life not directly connected with the soild ground of reality, e.g. philosophy. It also turned out that they were less egocentric than healthy men. Healthy men were more prone to risky behaviour than the ones with haemophilia.The results of research concerning the awareness of controlling one’s health in the two groups under study showed that haemophiliacs were less convinced than healty men that the condition of their health depended on their own activities.
