Abstract
Relevance. According to WHO data on the leading causes of mortality and disability worldwide during the period from 2000 to 2019, heart diseases have remained the leading cause of death globally for 20 years. Type D personality is associated with chronic psychosocial risk factors and is linked to a reduced quality of life. It is recommended for screening patients with cardiovascular diseases [6]. The study of signs of manifestation of Personality Type D among adolescents is aimed at early detection and detection of the occurrence of diseases of the cardiovascular system. Intention – research of individual psychological characteristics of adolescents with Personality Type D.
Methodology. 50 adolescents were examined. The 1st group consisted of 27 people classified as personality type D (mean age = 19.5 years), the 2nd group consisted of 23 people, also studying at a higher educational institution, without signs of personality type D. The testing method was employed using the following assessments: Multilevel Personality Questionnaire (MLO) “Adaptiveness”, Questionnaire “14-point scale for identifying personality type D” (J. Denollet), Author’s questionnaire “Reaction of insult” (I. A. Lelyakova), Author’s questionnaire “Vegetozy” (Moskalik Yu. IN.).
Results and discussion. The collected data as a whole allows us to conclude that the characteristics of the identified personality type disrupt the adaptation process, chronify neuro-mental tension, which manifests in various behavioral anomalies with the potential development of somatic illnesses.
Conclusion. The analysis and study of the individual psychological characteristics of young individuals with Type D personality can enhance the effectiveness of preventive measures and psychocorrection of cardiovascular diseases.
