Abstract

Biological and behavioral mediators link Type D personality with a poor prognosis in heart disease. However, the mediator role of cognitive biases is still unknown. This study tested whether Type D individuals exhibit an interpretative bias for ambiguous social situations. For this aim we examined Type D and non-Type D individuals’ evaluations of written social situations that varied in terms of situations’ clarity (clear, ambiguous) and social judgment (neutral, negative). A convenience sample of 42 young, healthy adults rated each situation in relation to the difficulty of formulating a verbal response, anticipated distress, and perceived threat, and they completed the Type D personality scale (DS14; Denollet, 2005). Results showed an interpretation bias among Type D individuals, as they rated ambiguous or neutral situations as significantly more distressing compared to non-Type D individuals. Only clearly negative situations were rated similarly by Type D and non-Type D individuals. The discussion suggests that this interpretation bias in Type D individuals would increase their vulnerability to perceived stress.

In ambiguous situations Type D individuals reported greater difficulties in formulating a verbal response and more anticipated distress than non-Type D individuals (respectively F(1, 41) = 10.80, p = .002, partial eta² = .213; F(1, 41) = 22.37, P < .001, partial eta² = .359). In clear situation these effects were respectively F(1,41) = 3.68, p = .06, partial eta² = .084; F(1,41) = 10.90, p = .002, partial eta² = .214).
