摘要：
Objective: The study aims to investigate the prevalence of Type D personality in a healthy Iranian population, to test the association between Type D personality and life satisfaction and to determine the degree to which social support attenuates this association. Methods: A cross-sectional design was employed. As many as 261 university students (142 males, 119 females, mean age 20.71 years) completed the measures of Type-D personality, life satisfaction and social support. Results: The prevalence of Type D personality was found to be 44%. In addition, Type D individuals reported significantly less life satisfaction and lower levels of social support than non-Type D ones. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) showed that social support can partially mediate the relationship between Type D personality and life satisfaction. Conclusion: The results suggest Type D personality is negatively associated with life satisfaction. In addition, social support might be a protective mechanism in this regard.
