Abstract
Analysis of verbal samples collected under varied interview conditions showed coronary disease patients to be significantly higher than controls on measures of anxiety, hostility-inward, and ambivalent hostility, and significantly lower on achievement need--differences attributed to the patient's reactions to myocardial infarctions. Unique personality conflicts in the coronary patient were not disclosed. Age (but not sex) was a significant variable: younger coronary patients had more psychological disturbances.
