Being cut off from one's own experience of distressing affect or negative self-appraisals could potentially have adverse health consequences (both physical and mental) (Siegel, 1992; Weinberger, 1995). The intent of this study was to use categorical personality styles differing on the dimensions of distress and self-restraint, and similar defensive processes termed self-deceptive enhancement and denial, in order to differentially predict measures of mental health (both other-rated mental health (ORMH) and self-reported self-esteem), self-reported current physical symptoms and family history of heart disease and cancer. 355 participants were administered the Weinberger Adjustment Inventory (WAI), Balanced Inventory of Desirable Responding - 6, Early Memories Index scoring of the Early Memories Test, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Questionnaire, Pennebaker Inventory of Limbic Languidness, as well as demographic questions related to family disease history. Categorical analyses did not evidence group differences on ORMH; although, post hoc dimensional analysis indicated modest support for distress, restraint, and self-deceptive enhancement as predictors of ORMH. Self-deception scales largely overlapped with distress and restraint as predicted suggesting that these defensive processes may be characteristic of those on the extreme end of the WAI dimensions. Further, post hoc analyses suggested that self-deceptive enhancement in particular, while positively correlated with self-report self esteem, was negatively associated with ORMH. Results related to physical health indicated that those high in restraint and low in distress reported significantly fewer current physical symptoms than other WAI personality style groups while those higher in distress reported more current physical symptoms. There were no meaningful associations between personality and family history of diseases.
