Self-directedness in both patient groups was lower than the control subjects. Harm avoidance and persistence was higher in patients with acute myocardial infarction and 50 with in comparison with healthy individuals and subjects with type 2 diabetes while cooperativeness in patients with acute myocardial infarction was lower than in the other two groups.
