Note. In baseline models, the cross-effects of personality traits on health outcomes and the cross-effects of health outcomes on personality traits were allowed for free estimation. In Model A, the cross-effects of personality traits on health outcomes were constrained to zero. In Model B, the cross-effects of health outcomes on personality traits were constrained to zero. Model comparisons were made for Baseline Model vs. Model A and Baseline Model vs. Model B. N = neuroticism; E = extraversion; O = openness; SRH = self-rated health; GDL = general disease level; LL = Log Likelihood; AIC = Akaike’s Information Criterion; df = degrees of freedom.
