    Author: van den Broek KC, Smolderen KG, Pedersen SS, Denollet J.
    Journal: Psychosomatics; 2010; 51(3):216-24. PubMed ID: 20484719.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Type D personality (a joint tendency to experience negative emotions and inhibit self-expression) has been associated with adverse outcomes across cardiovascular diseases, but little is known about its association with remembered parenting. OBJECTIVE: The authors sought to investigate the association between Type D personality, remembered parenting, and perceived health outcomes. METHOD: Adults from the general Dutch population (N=662) completed the Remembered Relationship with Parents (RRP) scale, the DS14 (which assesses Type D personality), the Short-Form Health Survey, the Beck Depression Inventory, and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. RESULTS: Type D personality was associated with adverse remembered parenting, and both were related to poor perceived health. Importantly, Type D mediated the relationship between adverse remembered parenting and adverse perceived health outcomes. DISCUSSION: When developing interventions for Type D personality, it may be important to take adverse childhood experiences into account.
