Myocardial infarction patients and heightened aggressiveness/hostility.
The factor-analytically derived Factor I of the Rating of Statements List (RSL) of Statement Evaluation Test (SET) (Dutch: BUL) is described. This RSL-Factor I (RSL-F I) is denominated 'Aggressiveness/Hostility' and appears adequate to test the clinical impression that male myocardial infarction patients (Mips) are more 'aggressive/hostile' than healthy males. The hypothesis derived from this clinical impression is tested three times. The results point to the tenability of the hypothesis concerned.
