“…Comparing age groups, in our study the Type D personality was the most prevalent in patients, aged 65-74 years, while in comparison group the peak was observed in the eldest group -people, aged 75 years and older. These results are inconsistent with the previous research, where the highest prevalence is mainly observed in young adults (33-38%) (Williams et al, 2008;Šmitas & Perminas, 2015;Batsele et al, 2017) and during the older age groups it transforms to a decreasing trend (e.g. Wiltink et al, 2011).…”

Abstract. Background and purpose. Type D personality is characterized by negative affectivity and social inhibition. This personality construct is linked to cardiovascular diseases and is considered as stable. However, there has been little research on prevalence in non-clinical samples and on stability of this construct. The main aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and retrospective perception of stability of Type D personality in patients and general population. Methods. This was a cross-sectional study with a sample from general population (n=304) and cardiovascular patients (n=154). Type D was evaluated using DS14 questionnaire. Respondents were asked to assess their personal characteristics at the moment and how they felt 5 years ago. Items about health condition, lifestyle and sociodemographic characteristics were also included into questionnaire. Results. Type D personality was similarly prevalent in both study groups -33.1% in cardiovascular patients and 35.9% in general population (p =.561). The prevalence of Type D based on retrospective assessment: during the last 5 years increased by 8.4% points in patients (p =.015) and by 0.4% points in comparison group (p =.472). In addition, Type D personality was associated with less healthy lifestyle in both study groups (p<.05) and also with a worse perceived health in comparison group (p<.001). Conclusions. Type D personality is similarly prevalent in general population and cardiovascular patients. However, this construct is considered as less stable among the patients. Type D personality was associated with less healthy lifestyle and in part with worse perceived health.

“…While individuals with high social inhibition scores have a tendency to perceive the environment as threatening that is commonly related with anhedonia (Lussier & Loas, 2015), social anxiety (Kupper & Denollet, 2014), depression and alexithymia (Batsele et al, 2017).…”

Purpose. One of the keys to identifying health problems from the holistic perspective is the knowledge of type D personality (distressed personality). Diagnosing this personality disorder among female football players may help sports psychologists, coaches, parents/caregivers, and all those engaged in training new sports entrants develop guidelines on how to resolve the problem. Methods. the study involved female footballers representing a Polish Ekstraliga football club, AZS-PSW Biała Podlaska, and was conducted with the use of the Polish adaptation of the DS14 scale.Results. In a group of 21 footballers, 7 (33.3%) were diagnosed with type D personality. Besides, a negative correlation was noted between the level of satisfaction with playing football and one of the dimensions of type D personality -negative emotionality. Conclusions. the results of the study may be applicable in formulating practical recommendations while preparing mental training programmes. Key words: distressed personality, psychology, women's football

“…Type D individuals are less likely to self-disclose and to share their medical symptoms with their doctors ( Schiffer et al, 2007 ), probably due to their discomfort with and distrust of others (SI). They are more alexythemic than non-D individuals ( Zohar et al, 2011 ; Batselé et al, 2016 ). However, they are awash with negative affectivity (NA), especially moodiness and irritability.…”

BackgroundNot enough is known about predicting therapeutic response to serotonin-specific reuptake inhibitors, and specifically to fluoxetine. This exploratory study used psychological and biological markers for (retrospective) prediction of treatment-response to fluoxetine in depressed and/or anxious adolescents.MethodsForty-one consecutive adolescent outpatients with a primary diagnosis of severe affective and/or anxiety disorders were assessed and treated with an open-label 8-week trial of fluoxetine. Type D personality was assessed with the 14-item questionnaire, the DS14. In addition, TNFα, IL-6, and IL-1b were measured pre- and post-treatment.ResultsThere was an elevation of Type D personality in patients, compared to the adolescent population rate. Post-treatment, 44% of patients were classified as non-responders; the relative risk of non-response for Type D personality patients was 2.8. Binary logistic regression predicting response vs. non-response showed a contribution of initial TNFα levels as well as Type D personality to non-response.ConclusionsIn this exploratory study, the most significant contributor to non-response was Type D personality. However, the measurement of Type D was not prospective, and thus may be confounded with psychiatric morbidity. The measurement of personality in psychiatric settings may contribute to the understanding of treatment response and have clinical utility.
