A型行为模式和动力动机抑制与冠心病的发生发展密切相关。由于人们普遍认为心血管反应性增强可能是个体发生CHD的机制之一，本研究考察了A型行为和动力抑制动机与两种行为任务中心血管反应的不同模式的关系。41名男性大学生(24名A型，17名B型)接受了A型结构访谈(SI)和主题性统觉测验(TAT)，同时记录了广泛的心血管功能。在SI和TAT期间观察到不同的心血管反应模式，在SI和TAT的准备阶段(但不是讲故事阶段)，A型患者比B型患者表现出更大的心率(HR)、收缩压(SBP)和前臂血流量(FBF)增加的趋势。在SI或TAT期间，动力动机被抑制与心血管反应性增强无关。本文还讨论了这些发现对冠心病发展的意义。
The Type A behavior pattern and the inhibited power motive have been implicated in the development of coronary heart disease (CHD). Since it is widely believed that enhanced cardiovascular responsivity may be one mechanism by which individuals develop CHD, the present study examined the relationship of Type A behavior and the inhibited power motive to different patterns of cardiovascular response during two behavioral tasks. Forty-one (24 Type A's, 17 Type B's) male undergraduates underwent the Type A structured interview (SI) and the Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) while a broad range of cardiovascular functions were simultaneously recorded. Different patterns of cardiovascular response were observed during the SI and TAT, and Type A's showed a greater tendency than Type B's to exhibit increased heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), and forearm blood flow (FBF) during the SI and the preparatory phase (but not the story-telling phase) of the TAT. The inhibited power motive was not related to enhanced cardiovascular responsivity during the SI or TAT. The implications of these findings for the development of CHD are discussed.
