TLDR

The paradoxical relation between diastolic blood pressure change under stress and the H factor of the Jenkins activity survey

TL;DR: This study examined the relation of the Type A scale and of the three factors of the Jenkins Activity Survey to the cardiovascular responses of twenty-six subjects during two stressful tasks and found that heart rate correlated directly with the subject's score on the Hard Driving and Competitive Factor (H).

Gail R. Goza
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed an exploratory causal model that examines the influence of several antecedent variables on burnout, including age, marital status, education, tenure, Type A personality, Jungian types, death anxiety, leadership style, job satisfaction, stress, coping efficacy, and marital satisfaction.

Operant self-control procedure in modifying Type A behavior.

TL;DR: A multiple-baseline across subjects design was used and demonstrated empirically significant decreases in S/I behaviors of the TABP following transfer to the self-reinforcement condition.

The assessment of type a behavior and the prediction of coronary heart disease: A review

TL;DR: A review of all the prospectively validated Type A measures that have been shown to be predictive of coronary disease is presented in this article, where each measure is described, its development is outlined, and its advantages, disadvantages, and limitations are highlighted.

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

- 21 Mar 1959 - 
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.

A Predictive Study of Coronary Heart Disease: The Western Collaborative Group Study

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.
