我们探讨了A型和B型个体对控制的不同偏好。46名受试者受到了令人厌恶的事件（大声的噪音）的威胁，并被允许选择是自己关闭噪音还是将控制权交给另一个（更有能力的）人。结果表明，B型人格者（不分性别）倾向于将控制权交给更有能力的同伴，从而减少厌恶性刺激，而A型人格者的选择行为则不那么明确。此外，虽然女性受试者倾向于放弃控制权，但男性受试者更倾向于保留控制权。因为女性放弃控制权的意愿总体上比男性更强，所以A型人格者的行为可能部分受到受试者性别的影响。虽然数据中有暗示性的趋势，但A型性格的核心心理特征仍然模糊不清，有待研究人员使用各种情况和更大的样本量来探索这些影响。
We explored differential preference for control among Type A and Type B individuals. Forty-six subjects were threatened with an aversive event (loud noise) and were allowed to choose whether to turn off the noise themselves or to yield control to another (more competent) individual. The results showed that Type B subjects (regardless of sex) tended to relinquish control to their more competent confederates and thus reduce the aversive stimulus, whereas the choice behavior of Type As was less clear. In addition, although female subjects tended to yield control, male subjects were more inclined to retain it. Because the willingness to yield control in general appears to be stronger in women than in men, the behavior observed in Type As may be partly moderated by the subject's sex. Although there were suggestive trends in the data, the central psychological features of the Type A pattern remain ambiguous and await studies in which researchers explore these effects, using a variety of situations and larger sample sizes.
