Abstract
The role of personality and behavioral factors in the development of diseases has been acknowledged. The present paper aims at examining and comparing the temperament and character patterns, based on Cloninger`s questionnaire (TCI) in healthy individuals and Patients with Type 2 diabetes and acute myocardial infarction. The present investigation is of descriptive-comparative type. The sample includes 50 healthy individuals, 50 patients with acute myocardial infarction and 50 with type 2 diabetes. The patients were selected using multistage random sampling while normal subjects were selected by simple sampling from the same areas. Self-directedness in both patient groups was lower than the control subjects. Harm avoidance and persistence was higher in patients with acute myocardial infarction and 50 with in comparison with healthy individuals and subjects with type 2 diabetes while cooperativeness in patients with acute myocardial infarction was lower than in the other two groups. Apart from self-directedness, no factor was different between diabetic patients and healthy individuals. Character dimensions such as self-directedness and temperamental traits such as harm avoidance, novelty seeking and persistence may predict the onset of physical disorders such as cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes.
