Mecanismos de relación entre la personalidad y los procesos de salud-enfermedad

ABSTRACT: The historical and current literature on the relationship between personality and health is reviewed. The link is established to consider the personality as a module that interacts in a complex procedural system, which the process of health-disease process is the product. If health is wellbeing and adaptive capacity, what do psychological systems of personality influence on it? It is concluded that both are interrelated through several mechanisms, although the review doesn´t allow to formulate stable conclusions. Emotional competencies could link the two issues. The models could encourage relevant clinical applications, choose subjects indicated for the prevention, advancing policies to promote health, etc. Research models are needed to study the mechanisms that connect them. Finally, researchs on positive personality are promising.
