Type D (distressed) personality is characterised by high social inhibition (SI) and high negative affectivity (NA). It is measured using the DS14 (Denollet, 2005) and has been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular mortality (Denollet et al., 1996). However, there have been several criticisms in the literature of the DS14, and the concept of Type D personality more generally. For example, the developers of the DS14 assert that NA and depression are independent of one another. But these concepts correlate highly and are both predictors of adverse cardiovascular outcomes (Coyne et al., 2011). Therefore, the question arises whether depression should be considered under the umbrella of NA, or whether depression is an independent concept from NA and SI.

Your Task
Imagine that you are a Health Psychologist, with an interest in the role of depression and Type D personality on cardiovascular mortality. In your opinion, Type D personality should be conceptualised as comprising three factors, SI, NA and depression. Therefore, you set out to design and validate a new questionnaire, the Newcastle Type D Questionnaire (NTDQ), which retains the items from the SI subscale from the DS14, but includes more items which you anticipate will load onto a revised NA factor, as well as some further items which are consistent with depression symptomatology. In order to psychometrically evaluate your revised instrument, you recruit 375 males aged 65 years or older from University of the Third Age (U3A) groups in North East England. You collect data on the NTDQ as well as other self-report measures, physiological measures and diagnosis of coronary heart disease and hypertension. All participants are contacted after one year to once again complete the NTDQ (21 individuals are ‘lost to follow-up’). The collected data can be found in an SPSS data file available on Blackboard, called ‘NTDQ data’. An accompanying ‘data dictionary’ lists and describes each of the variables in the dataset.

Your task is to write a report for the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, which reports the findings from your psychometric evaluation of the NTDQ. Your report should comprise the following sections: Abstract, Introduction, Method, Results, Discussion, References and Appendices. The appendices should comprise the final version of the NTDQ which you derive from your psychometric evaluation. Your report should include details of NTDQ reliability, validity and factor structure.

Now what i need. ********

After you read the question i need to help me to do that

Statistic data ( questionnair )NTDQ data
some participant dont complete this questionnair you can removed that i think after removed the participaent the number will be 354 after that you can start to solve this.
look the file PowerPoint how to reverse score items in SPSS

i need just to do that NTDQ Reliability, Validity. look at the question above.

i will send you the file for data and Data Dictionary and Newcastle Type D Questionnaire (NTDQ) and
i send PowerPoint how to reverse score items in SPSS

I don’t want to write essay

just solve my statistics Reliability, Validity.

also, i will send artical for (Denollet, 2005) look at that to understand this task.

Thanks a lot.
After you finished can you write me the summary what you did.
