Prediction of clinical coronary heart disease by a test for the coronary-prone behavior pattern.
TLDR
A prospective study of 2750 employed men who completed a computer-scored test questionnaire measuring the coronary-prone Type A behavior pattern showed that high scorers had twice the incisive risk of heart attack as low scorers.Abstract:

Coronary heart disease. Clinical, cinearteriographic and metabolic correlations.
TL;DR: The various methods and concepts within health psychology that have been applied to further understanding of the factors that contribute to CHD and the various prevention and intervention strategies used to reduce the risk of CHD morbidity and mortality are illustrated.

Pleasure-arousal-dominance: A general framework for describing and measuring individual differences in Temperament
TL;DR: In this article, evidence relating the PAD Temperament Model to 59 individual difference measures was reviewed and formulas were offered for use of P, A and D temperament scores to compute and predict a variety of personality scores (e.g., anxiety, depression, panic, Somatization, Empathy, Affiliation, Achievement, Extroversion, Arousal Seeking, Loneliness, Neuroticism, Suicide Proneness, Binge Eating, Substance Abuse, Emotional Stability, Dependency, Aggressiveness, and Fidgeting).

Some Methods for Strengthening the Common χ 2 Tests
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss two kinds of failure to make the best use of x2 tests which I have observed from time to time in reading reports of biological research, and propose a number of methods for strengthening or supplementing the most common uses of the ordinary x2 test.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tests for Linear Trends in Proportions and Frequencies
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the fact that the carrier rate increases with the tonsil size, and it is reasonable to believe that a test specifically designed to detect a trend in the rate as the tonil size increases would show a much higher degree of significance.

A Predictive Study of Coronary Heart Disease: The Western Collaborative Group Study
Ray H. Rosenman,Meyer Friedman,Reuben Straus,Moses Wurm,Robert Kositchek,Wilfrid Hahn,Nicholas T. Werthessen +6 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.

Progress Toward Validation of a Computer-Scored Test for the Type A Coronary-Prone Behavior Pattern
TL;DR: A self‐administered, machine‐scored test questionnaire to discriminate between men with the Type A coronary‐prone behavior pattern and those without that pattern (Type B) was taken twice by over 2800 men in the Western Collaborative Group Study in 1965 and 1966.
