“…These personality changes may be a chronic condition and may have as the consequence occurrence of complex post-traumatic stress disorder or other mental disorders. Also, there are several studies that point to important role of personality traits in the occurrence of mental health problems in victims of domestic violence, as well as the interaction between a certain type of personality and domestic violence victimization ( 25 ). The research results of Motevaliyana et al ( 26 ) conducted among women in Iran indicate the importance of personality traits in the understanding of domestic violence, making of strategies for prevention of domestic violence as well as treatment plan.…”

Introduction:Research indicates that women victims of domestic violence show significant cognitive changes, emotional numbing, and avoidance of interpersonal relationships.Aim:The aim of this research was to analyze emotional profile of women victims of domestic violence, and to determine the relationship between dimensions of emotions and frequency of women exposure to domestic violence.Methods:The research was conducted on the sample of 169 women, 111 were victims of domestic violence and 58 were women who did not experience domestic violence. Plutchik’s Emotions Profile Index (EPI) was used for measuring of the emotion profile, and the Modified Inventory of Domestic Violence for measuring experiences of different types of violence. Basic socio-demographic data were also collected.Results:Significant differences between women victims of domestic violence and women who did not experience domestic violence were found in a few dimensions of emotional profile. Women victims of domestic violence had higher results in the dimensions of deprivation/depression and aggression/destruction, while women who did not experience domestic violence had higher results in dimensions of reproduction and incorporation. Aggression was in significant negative correlation with reproduction, incorporation and self protection, whereas it was significant positive correlation with deprivation and opposition. There were significant and positive correlation between the dimensions of aggression and deprivation and frequency of all three forms of domestic violence and age of women.Conclusion:According to results obtained in this research, it can be concluded that women victims of domestic violence have significantly more intensive negative emotional dimensions in comparison to women who were not abused. Women victims of domestic violence with higher frequency of abuse describe themselves as more sad, apathetic, lonely, angry, quarrelsome and less sociable. Prominence of negative emotions, deprivation and aggression, can be factor of risk for mental health disorders and for re-victimisation of women victims of domestic violence.

“…It has been shown that loneliness is associated with the metabolic syndrome in middle aged and older adults (Whisman, 2010), and that loneliness may increase biological aging (Hawkley & Cacioppo, 2010). Although not much is known on the direct link of loneliness and diabetes, loneliness is an issue for people with Type D personality (Beutel et al, 2017;De Moor, Denollet, & Laceulle, 2018;Kunst & Van Bon-Martens, 2011).…”

Objective: To examine whether individual differences in Type D personality (combination of negative affectivity (NA) and social inhibition (SI)) could explain heterogeneity in perceived social support and relationship adjustment (intimate partner relationship) among people living with diabetes. Design: In the Diabetes MILES-The Netherlands survey, 621 adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes (54% female, age: 56 ± 14 years) completed measures of Type D personality (DS14), perceived social support and relationship adjustment. We used established DS14 cutoff scores to indicate Type D personality, high NA only, high SI only and reference groups. Results: Participants from the Type D and NA only groups perceived lower levels of social support (Welch[3,259] ¼ 37.27, p < 0.001), and relationship adjustment (Welch[3,191] ¼ 14.74; p < 0.01) than those from the SI only and reference groups. Type D was associated with lower social support (lowest quartile; adjusted OR ¼ 8.73; 95%CI ¼ 5.05 $ 15.09; p < 0.001) and lower relationship adjustment (lowest quartile; adjusted OR ¼ 3.70; 95%CI ¼ 2.10 $ 6.53; p < 0.001). Type D was also associated with increased levels of loneliness. Conclusion: Participants with Type D and participants with high NA only tend to experience less social support and less relationship adjustment. Type D personality was also associated with more loneliness. Experiencing lower social support and relationship adjustment may complicate coping and self-management in people with diabetes.
