Abstract

Personality traits are reported to be associated with a variety of medical comorbidities. Correlational studies report an association between 'bearing grudges' and medical conditions. We hypothesize persons reporting "bearing grudges for years" would be more likely to have medical comorbidities and test this hypothesis in an epidemiological sample.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 50. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 26 May 2022.
All research outputs
#753,354
of 23,794,258 outputs
Outputs from Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology
#122
of 2,534 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#1,734
of 95,259 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology
#1
of 29 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,794,258 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 96th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,534 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 13.9. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 95% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 95,259 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 98% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 29 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 96% of its contemporaries.
