Pakistan Journal of Cardiology, 24(3-4), 05-22.https://escholar.umt.edu.pk/handle/123456789/1138This empirical study explores the role of personality traits in causation of Coronary Heart Disease (CHD). A total of 231 participants including both confirmed cases of CHD and non-patients were surveyed. Data regarding personality traits was collected by using TIPI instrument while closedended questions elicited data about other medical and demographic variables of interest. Logistic Regression analysis2 was used to isolate significant personality traits in relation with the dependent variable CHD. Baron&Kenny mediation approach was employed in the attempt to isolate mediators of the study. Analytical findings are discussed in the light of cardiology and personality literature review undertaken to arrive at theory developed in the paper. Future research implications and major limitations of this study are also discussed.enCoronary Heart Disease (CHD)Five Factor Model (FFM) of PersonalityLogistic RegressionMediation AnalysisPersonality/Heart Disease LinkArticle
