social inhibition and emotional distress in patients with coronary artery disease the type d Personality Construct
2019Co-Authors: Ivy Timmermans, Henneke Versteeg, Stefanie Duijndam, Corine Graafmans, Peter Polak, Johan DenolletAbstract:We examined the validity of the social inhibition component of Type D, its distinctiveness from negative affectivity, and value regarding emotional distress as measured with the DS14 in 173 coronary artery disease patients. In dimensional analysis, social inhibition and negative affectivity emerged as distinct traits. Analysis of continuous negative affectivity and social inhibition measures showed main effects for several emotional and inhibition markers and an interaction effect for social anxiety. Categorical analysis indicated that Type D patients reported more depression, negative mood, social anxiety, and less positive mood. Social inhibition is not a redundant trait, but has additional conceptual value.

predictive value of social inhibition and negative affectivity for cardiovascular events and mortality in patients with coronary artery disease the type d Personality Construct
2013Co-Authors: Johan Denollet, Susanne S Pedersen, Christiaan J Vrints, Viviane M ConraadsAbstract:Objective Methodological considerations and selected null findings indicate the need to reexamine the Type D Construct. We investigated whether associations with cardiac events in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) involve the specific combination of negative affectivity (NA) and social inhibition (SI), or rather the main effect of either trait alone. Methods In this 5-year follow-up of 541 patients with CAD, the Type D Construct (14-item Type D Scale) was tested by examining a) the interaction of continuous NA and SI z scores and b) a four-group classification defined by low/high trait scores. End points were major adverse cardiac events (MACEs; death, myocardial infarction [MI], coronary revascularization) and cardiac death/MI. Results At follow-up, 113 patients had a MACE, including 47 patients with cardiac death/MI. After adjustment for disease severity, age, sex, and main trait effects, the interaction of NA and SI z scores was associated with MACE (odds ratio [OR] = 1.36, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.11-1.67). This continuous measure of Type D was also associated with cardiac death/MI (OR = 1.48, 95% CI = 1.11-1.96) and remained an independent predictor of events after adjustment for depressive symptoms. Using a cutoff of 10 on both NA and SI scales, Type D was associated with an adjusted OR of 1.74 (95% CI = 1.11-2.73) for MACE and an OR of 2.35 (95% CI = 1.26-4.38) for death/MI but was unrelated to noncardiac death. Patients with high NA or SI alone were not at increased risk. Conclusions Continuous (NA × SI interaction) and dichotomized measures of Type D were associated with cardiovascular events in patients with CAD. Research is needed to explore moderating factors that may alter this association.

assessment of the type d Personality Construct in the korean population a validation study of the korean ds14
2011Co-Authors: Hong Euy Lim, Susanne S Pedersen, Moon Soo Lee, Youngmin Park, Sook Haeng Joe, Yong Ku Kim, Changsu Han, Hwa Young Lee, Johan DenolletAbstract:This study aimed to develop a Korean version of the Type D Personality Scale-14 (DS14) and evaluate the psychiatric symptomatology of Korean cardiac patients with Type D Personality. Healthy control (n = 954), patients with a coronary heart disease (n = 111) and patients with hypertension and no heart disease (n = 292) were recruited. All three groups completed DS14, the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ), the state subscale of Spielberger State and Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-S), the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Short Depression Scale (CESD), and the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ). The Korean DS14 was internally consistent and stable over time. 27% of the subjects were classified as Type D. Type D individuals had significantly higher mean scores on the STAI-S, CESD, and GHQ compared to non-Type D subjects in each group. The Korean DS14 was a valid and reliable tool for identifying Type D Personality. The general population and cardiovascular patients with Type D Personality showed higher rate of depression, anxiety and psychological distress regarding their health. Therefore, identifying Type D Personality is important in clinical research and practice in chronic medical disorders, especially cardiovascular disease, in Korea.

validating the type d Personality Construct in chinese patients with coronary heart disease
2010Co-Authors: David R Thompson, Susanne S Pedersen, Johan DenolletAbstract:Abstract Objective Type D Personality predicts poor prognosis in coronary heart disease (CHD) but little is known about Type D in non-Western cultures. We examined the (a) validity of the Type D Construct and its assessment with the DS14 scale in the Chinese culture, (b) prevalence of Type D, and (c) gender vs. Type D discrepancies in depression/anxiety, among Chinese patients with CHD. Method Patients with CHD ( N =326) completed the Chinese version of the DS14. The NEO Five Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and Stress Symptom Checklist (SSC) were administered to subsamples to establish Construct and discriminant validity. Administration of the DS14, HADS, and SSC was repeated at 1 month after hospital discharge in 66 patients, and stability of the DS14 was examined in another subsample of 100 patients. Results The theoretical structure of the Type D Construct in the Chinese culture was supported ( χ 2 / df =2.89, root mean square error of approximation=0.08, normal fit index=0.91, non-normal fit index=0.91, comparative fit index=0.93). The Negative Affectivity (NA) and Social Inhibition (SI) subscales of the DS14 in the entire sample were internally consistent (Cronbach's alpha=0.89/0.81), measured stable traits (3-month test–retest ICC=0.76/0.74), and correlated significantly with the neuroticism (NA/neuroticism, r =0.78, P r =−0.64, P P =.002) and depression ( P =.016). Conclusion Type D Personality is a cross-culturally valid Construct, is associated with an increased risk of anxiety and depression, and deserves prompt attention in estimating the prognostic risk of Chinese CHD patients.

the location of trait emotional intelligence in Personality factor space
2007Co-Authors: K V Petrides, Ria Pita, F KokkinakiAbstract:The Construct of trait emotional intelligence (trait EI or trait emotional self-efficacy) provides a comprehensive operationalization of emotion-related self-perceptions and dispositions. In the first part of the present study (N = 274, 92 males), we performed two joint factor analyses to determine the location of trait EI in Eysenckian and Big Five factor space. The results showed that trait EI is a compound Personality Construct located at the lower levels of the two taxonomies. In the second part of the study, we performed six two-step hierarchical regressions to investigate the incremental validity of trait EI in predicting, over and above the Giant Three and Big Five Personality dimensions, six distinct criteria (life satisfaction, rumination, two adaptive and two maladaptive coping styles). Trait EI incrementally predicted four criteria over the Giant Three and five criteria over the Big Five. The discussion addresses common questions about the operationalization of emotional intelligence as a Personality trait.

deciphering the neural underpinnings of alexithymia in multiple sclerosis
2020Co-Authors: Moussa A Chalah, Paul Kauv, Ulrich Palm, Jeanpascal Lefaucheur, Jerome Hodel, Alain Creange, Samar S AyacheAbstract:Abstract Objectives Alexithymia is a Personality Construct that could occur in up to 53 % of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). It entails difficulties in identifying and describing one’s feelings and an externally oriented thinking. The current work aims to assess the neural underpinnings of alexithymia in this population. Methods Forty-five patients with MS filled in the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (n = 17 with high alexithymia and n = 28 with low alexithymia). Brain magnetic resonance imaging was obtained for each patient and a morphometry algorithm (MorphoBox) was applied to calculate regional brain volumes. All patients underwent a clinical and neuropsychological evaluation which included measures for anxiety, depression, fatigue, daytime sleepiness, and basic and social cognition. Results Compared to patients with low alexithymia, patients with high alexithymia had significantly higher fatigue and depression ratings, and lower empathy scores. In addition, they had lower volumes of corpus callosum, deep white matter, pallidum bilaterally, and left thalamus. In the whole cohort, alexithymia scores were inversely correlated with gray matter (thalamus and pallidum bilaterally) and white matter volumes (corpus callosum and bilateral deep white matter) after controlling for covariates (ps Conclusion This study offers insights on the neuropsychological and neural substrates of alexithymia in MS. The current findings are consistent with alexithymia reports in other clinical populations, and suggest an association between alexithymia and atrophy of thalami, pallidum, corpus callosum and deep white matter in MS. Further research is needed to enhance the understanding of alexithymia mechanisms in this clinical context.

alexithymia in multiple sclerosis a systematic review of literature
2017Co-Authors: Moussa A Chalah, Samar S AyacheAbstract:Abstract Background Alexithymia is a multidimensional Personality Construct characterized by difficulties identifying and describing one’s feelings, and externally oriented thinking. Although extensively reported in psychiatric patients, little attention has been paid regarding its occurrence and its pathophysiology in the context of multiple sclerosis (MS). Methods A research was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines aiming to identify original research articles in English and French languages about alexithymia in MS. Computerized databases (MEDLINE, PubMed, Scopus) were consulted. The key terms used were the following: (‘multiple sclerosis’ OR ‘MS’) AND (‘alexithymia’ OR ‘alexithymic’ OR ‘emotion processing’ OR ‘emotion awareness’ OR ‘Toronto Alexithymia Scale’ OR ‘Bermond-Vorst Alexithymia Questionnaire’) AND (‘imaging’ OR ‘neuroimaging’ OR ‘magnetic resonance imaging’ or ‘MRI’). References of the retrieved papers were scanned manually aiming to get additional sources. Results 14 papers matched the above criteria. The prevalence of alexithymia in MS ranges from 10% to 53%. It seems to be associated with anxiety, depression, fatigue, and some social cognitive aspects. Its relationship with clinical and classical cognitive variables was rarely assessed. Finally, only one study has addressed its pathophysiology and has suggested an aberrant interhemispheric transfer. Conclusion Admitting the prevalence of alexithymia in MS and its potential negative impact on the quality of life and interpersonal communication, screening for it is relevant for a better management. Its relationship with clinical, emotional and cognitive confounders merits to be further evaluated. Large-scale studies, employing neuroimaging techniques, are greatly needed in order to disentangle the neural underpinnings of this trait in MS.
