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:

TL;DR: The results highlight the important role of personality factors in determining how people react to different kinds of stress.

the Belgian Heart Disease Prevention Project: Type “a” Behavior Pattern and the Prevalence of Coronary Heart Disease
TL;DR: The association was strongest with angina pectoris or with electrocardiogram abnormalities in subjects with known CHD; however, particular aspects of the Type A behavior pattern dealing with time urgency were also related to ECG abnormalities in patients with no anginapectoris and no history of CHD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Type A behavior pattern and coping and defense.
TL;DR: The JAS findings imply that increased coronary risk may be associated with poor coping skills, and future studies should examine multifactorial interaction of personality variables that may contribute to CHD risk.

Type A personality as psychopathology: Personality correlates and an abbreviated scoring system
TL;DR: This study investigated the relationship between the Jenkins Activity Survey, a questionnaire developed to measure the Type A 'coronary-prone' personality described by Friedman and Rosenman, and other personality measures, comprising the Eysenck Personality Inventory, the Personal Deviance Scale, and a measure of Achievement Need.

Disentangling Type A Behavior: The Roles of Ambition, Insensitivity, and Anxiety.
TL;DR: This article identified stable components of Type A behavior as usually defined, and examined their relationships with more traditional psychological constructs, finding that the most popular Type A measure (a version of the Jenkins Activity Survey) were moderately associated with ambition but largely unrelated to measures of adjustment.

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.
