Matthew's Peer Review of HvBurns Sandbox on Type D Personality
Your plan to expand the paragraph regarding cardiovascular health is promising. You have mentioned several factors which may already have their own articles as well. In that case, I would suggest you describe only the most general information about these risk factors, and be as specific as possible with regard to the links which have been shown to exist between the Type D Personality and those risk factors. You already have cited a source so I think you are on the right track there.

You have suggested adding a new section about Sleep Apnea. In this regard, I would suggest the same thing as with the other risk factors you plan to describe in the article. That is I would suggest that you provide only the most general description of sleep apnea, and perhaps link to its page, and then only emphasize specifically how it is linked to Type D personality. If someone wants to know about Sleep Apnea, they should consult that article.

Your section on the relationship between gender and Type D Personality also seems promising. I am surprised this is not already well-developed, and so I would be keen to read this once you have written it. Of course it should focus on the links between gender and Type D Personality, but I think it would be appropriate to be a bit broader in your descriptions with regard to gender than with other subjects (risk factors, sleep apnea) because gender is now considered by many to be culturally constructed as well as it is biological in nature. I think you are on the right track there too with well-cited sources. I would be most interested to see this aspect of the article developed more, but also I think it will be challenging to do so without ketting too much personal opinion and unsupported points to organize the information. It would be best to keep it impartial as per Wikipedia standards.

Further, your suggestions regarding case studies could help to illustrate these points even better than citations of more broadly applicable research. With regards to gender and its relation to Type D Personality, here there is little scientific consensus if any at all, and so case studies would be an appropriate type of research to showcase because case studies help demonstrate existing phenomena more than they explain them, and it may be that in this line of research, we are the early stage of description and exploration rather than that of drawing conclusions. Thus I think you are on the right track. Keep up the good work!

Peer Review of Type D Personality
I think something that would be valuable to add would be in what ways the quality of life of a person with type D personality would be lowered. On a related note, I would also suggest looking for possible ways that this lowered quality of life could potentially be countered. In addition, regarding the various methods of assessment of type d personality, I would suggest exploring it in greater detail, maybe providing examples on the types of questions that would be asked in regards to negative affectivity and social inhibition. I think an example of each type of question may be useful to the reader, or possibly linking to the questionnaire itself, if available. I haven't noticed any major problems that need fixing, your citations look good, and I don't see any bias one way or the other in your writing. Overall, great work on your article!
