“…In addition, we measured personality traits, that have a chronic influence on distress and stress proneness. We measured Type D or distressed personality (Denollet, 2005), a stable personality configuration, that combines negative affectivity and social inhibition; Type D personality is associated with poor health, psychopathology, and suicidality (Denollet et al, 2021). We also measured Harm Avoidance (HA), an inhibitory temperament trait that is characterized by pessimism, shyness, anxiety, and fatigability, and Self Directedness (SD), a protective character trait that enables individuals to behave responsibly, in a goal-oriented fashion, to initiate and improvise, and thus further their personal goals (Cloninger, 2004).…”

Background: There is research showing that cardiac sympathetic autonomous activity is elevated and cardiac parasympathetic autonomous activity is decreased in individuals contending with serious psychopathology. There is also work showing that attentional bias to emotionally distressing stimuli is affected by depression and anxiety. This study hypothesized that individuals who were high on suicide-related attention bias (AB) and cardiac sympathetic activity (SNS index) would also have elevated psychological distress, even in the absence of a diagnosable disorder. Methods: Participants were 181 healthy college students, 42.5% male. Personality traits, depression, hopelessness and suicidal ideation/behaviour were self-reported. Cardiac activity was measured using bodyguard2, and the SNS index was used as a measure of stress. AB was measured using stimuli salient in the context of death and suicide. Results: Correlations were in the expected direction. Cluster analysis using AB and the SNS index produced three clusters, of which Cluster 3, 19.7% of the sample, had elevated AB and SNS index, and by far the most distressed psychological profile, above the clinical cut-off point for depression. Conclusions: The study results indicate a strong association between objective and subjective measures of distress uncovered by cluster analysis. Such result may help to identifying a group of extremely distressed individuals among healthy adults. Individuals with a distressed personality profile, who are depressed and reject life, can be distinguished by their cardiac stress and AB.

“…The findings of previous studies also indicate that illness perception and professional support affect the behavioral engagement of individuals with type D personality (Denollet et al, 2021;Park et al, 2021) and that patients with type D personality are likely to hold misperceptions toward their illness (Kwon & Kang, 2018). The social cognitive theory also emphasizes the role of an individual's cognitive perceptions and environmental factors (e.g., social support) in healthy behavior formation (Bandura, 2012).…”

Background Type D personality, a newly specified personality type defined as the interaction of high levels of negative affectivity and social inhibition, is associated with poor health outcomes. Few interventional studies have been performed to improve health outcomes in this subpopulation. Purpose This study was developed to examine the effects of an educational intervention on psychological health, health-promoting behaviors, and quality of life in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients with type D personality in China. Methods A randomized controlled trial was adopted. One hundred twenty-eight patients with CHD and type D personality were randomly assigned. The intervention group received the 12-week educational intervention in addition to usual care, whereas the control group received usual care only. Data on anxiety and depression, health-promoting behaviors, and quality of life were collected at baseline and at 1 and 3 months after enrollment. After controlling for the covariates, the generalized estimating equation model was used to examine the intervention effects. Results The mean age of the participants was 61.02 years, and more than 70% were male. Results of the generalized estimating equation analysis showed significantly greater improvements in anxiety, depression, and health-promoting behaviors in the intervention group than in the control group. In addition, quality of life, the domains of angina limitation, angina stability, and treatment satisfaction were found to have improved more significantly in the intervention group than the control group, whereas the posttest changes in angina frequency and disease perception were found to be similar in both groups. Conclusions/Implications for Practice The educational intervention was shown to be effective in improving psychological health, health-promoting behaviors, and certain domains of quality of life in patients with CHD and type D personality. Nurses should identify patients with this personality type and provide tailored care to improve their health outcomes in clinical practice.

“…It has been reported that individuals with Type D personality may have a more depressed and dysphoric affect and have anxiety about rejection and disapproval from others (3,4). Some studies have shown that individuals with Type D personality may be more prone to both stress-related physical problems such as cardiovascular diseases and psychological problems such as depression, burnout, and anxiety disorders (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10).…”

BackgroundType D personality is characterized by negative affect (NA) and social suppression (SI). It has been indicated Type D personality is associated with depression, anxiety, and burnout. Depressive complaints and social inhibition negatively affect job satisfaction. The aim of this study is to investigate the moderating role of Type D personality structure between the severity of depressive complaints and job satisfaction in teachers.Methods939 teachers, who constitute the sample of the study, completed the sociodemographic form, Type D personality scale (DS-14), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Minnesota Satisfaction Scale Short Form with an online survey.ResultsWhile a negative relationship was found between teachers’ NA scores and their intrinsic and extrinsic job satisfaction (r = −0.28 and r = −0.19, respectively), a negative relationship was detected between SI scores and intrinsic and extrinsic job satisfaction (r = −0.22 and r = −0.21, respectively). NA and SI had partial moderating roles in the relationship between BDI score and intrinsic job satisfaction. SI played a partial moderating role in the relationship between BDI and extrinsic job satisfaction.ConclusionIt can be said Type D personality traits has a moderating role between the severity of teachers’ depressive complaints and job satisfaction.
