Key result
Health behaviors partially mediated the relationship between Type D personality and physical symptoms (β = -2.42) as well as quality of life (β = 2.60) in a general population sample.

Hypothesis-generating for Type D interventions; longitudinal studies needed before any clinical screening or practice changes.
Williams et al. (2015) conducted a cross-sectional in Healthy (General Population) (n=217). Type D personality vs. Non-Type D personality was evaluated on Mediating effect of health behaviours on the relationship between Type D personality and physical symptoms (β = -2.42, 95% CI -4.3 to -1.01). Health behaviors partially mediated the relationship between Type D personality and physical symptoms (β = -2.42) as well as quality of life (β = 2.60) in a general population sample.
