TLDR
Independent factor analyses were performed on JAS responses from four large samples of employed men and concurred that the coronary-prone behavior pattern is actually composed of at least three major, conceptually independent behavioral syndromes: I. Hard Driving, II.About:

Religion, Type A behavior, and health.
TL;DR: In individuals with weak or no religious ties, Type A is associated with lower blood pressure, and this last finding suggests that in some people (for example, the irreligious or unchurched), the coronary-prone behavior pattern may have cardiovascular effects which are salutary in at least one respect.

Gender differences in negative affectivity among university faculty members
TL;DR: In this paper, negative affectivity (NA) and Type A behavior were assessed in a sample of 96 male and female university teachers and the difference between men and women on the NA component of hostility was quite profound.

Moderating role of Type-A personality on stress-outcome relationships
TL;DR: This article examined the moderating role of Type A/Type B personality on job stress-work and non-work outcomes and found that individuals with Type A personalities do not necessarily experience concomitant decreases in these outcome measures when organizational stress increases.
Journal ArticleDOI
A General Hospital Patient is Not a NUT
TL;DR: Psychological reactions to medical conditions can be understood better in terms of developmental crisis, and the inappropriateness of a psychopathological approach to the psychological aspects of coronary heart disease is supported.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated internal consistency, construct validity, criterion validity, and generalizability of the JAS Type A scale relative to coronary risk measurements in a sample of 227 male and female hospital employees.

Association of specific overt behavior pattern with blood and cardiovascular findings: blood cholesterol level, blood clotting time, incidence of arcus senilis, and clinical coronary artery disease

TL;DR: Three groups of men, selected solely according to the behavior pattern which they habitually manifested in their work, were compared and found that this pattern per se was largely responsible for the striking differences found.

Coronary heart disease in the Western collaborative group study. A follow-up experience of two years.
TL;DR: For example, this article found that the type A behavior pattern was strongly associated with the CHD incidence, and this association could not be explained by association of behavior pattern with any single predictive risk factor or with any combination of them.

TL;DR: The profile of coronary-prone males through retrospective analysis of prospectively obtained data is defined and higher serum beta/alpha lipoprotein ratios and 80 of them had been adjudged in "blind" assessments to exhibit an overt behavior pattern previously found associated with occurrence of CHD in middle-aged men are defined.

Development of an objective psychological test for the determination of the coronary-prone behavior pattern in employed men☆
TL;DR: The development of a self-administered, machine-scored psychological test to measure the coronary-prone behavior pattern and the present form of the test questionnaire distinguishes at high levels of statistical significance between groups of men clinically judged to manifest the coronary to coronary heart disease pattern and those groups judged not to manifests the pattern.
