四十八名受试者（其中大约一半是男性，一半是女性）参加了一项实验，该实验旨在测量面对电击威胁时的应对策略选择和心率反应。此外，所有受试者还完成了弗雷明汉 A 型量表和其他测量愤怒表达和情绪不稳定性的弗雷明汉心理社会量表。在女性受试者中，A 型被假设与选择警惕、寻求可预测性的应对方式相关。 A 型也被假设与更高的心率反应性相关。在男性中，A 型量表不能预测应对策略的选择或心率反应性。无论男女，警惕的应对方式都与抑制愤怒有关。参考有关 A 型行为模式和冠心病的广泛研究对结果进行了讨论。
Forty-eight subjects, approximately half of whom were male and half female, took part in an experiment designed to measure coping-strategy choice and heart-rate reactivity in the face of an electric shock threat. All subjects completed, in addition, the Framingham Type A scale and other Framingham psychosocial scales measuring anger expression and emotional lability. Among female subjects, Type A was ex hypothesi associated with choice of a vigilant, predictability-seeking coping style. Type A was also ex hypothesi associated with greater heart-rate reactivity. Among males, the Type A scale did not predict either coping-strategy choice or heart-rate reactivity. Vigilant coping was associated with suppressed anger in both sexes. Results are discussed with reference to a wide body of research on Type A behavior pattern and coronary heart disease.
