A group of 35 female patients with coronary disease and another group consisting of 35 healthy women were tested with C.D. Spielberger's State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Z. Bizoń's Questionnaire of Neurotic Symptoms, J.B. Rotter's I-E Scale, and the author's own method for the determination of susceptibility to iatrogenic psychical trauma. In comparison with healthy women, the patients displayed significantly higher level of anxiety both as a state and as a trait, lower level of psychical endurance, more external sense of control and higher susceptibility to iatrogenic trauma.
