 AB    A cross-sectional exploratory design was used to assess the
       relationships of personality, socioeconomic status, and appraisal with
       functional and emotional outcomes in 77 men and 50 women with HIV
       infection. Multiple regression analysis showed that, among men,
       socioeconomic status moderated the negative relationship between
       self-esteem and disruption in usual activities. Consistent with Lazarus
       and Folkman's (1984) theory, appraisal of HIV threat mediated the
       negative relationship between self-esteem and mood disturbance for men
       and women, and the positive relationship between self-esteem and purpose
       in life for women. Appraisal did not mediate between personality
       variables and disruption in usual activities or life satisfaction for
       men or women.
