不可预测和无法控制的事件与各种疾病有关。据推测，不可预测的厌恶事件与身体症状报告有因果关系，而A型冠心病倾向的行为模式影响症状报告，因此，当A型个体期望继续完成一项任务时，与他们认为自己已经完成任务时相比，他们无法报告症状。在目前的研究中，A型和B型女性在实验室听不可预测的、可预测的或环境噪音的结束或中间报告了症状。结果表明，不可预测噪声比可预测噪声产生更多的症状报告，而可预测噪声又比环境噪声产生更多的症状报告；A型人格的人在任务中报告的症状比在任务结束时少，而B型人格的人则没有表现出这种差异效应。因此，两个假设都得到了证实。对研究结果提出了几种可能的解释，并讨论了研究结果的含义。
Unpredictable and uncontrollable events are associated with a variety of illnesses. It was hypothesized that unpredictable aversive events are causally linked to physical symptom reporting and that the Type A coronary-prone behavior pattern affects symptom reporting, such that Type A individuals fail to report symptoms when they expect to continue working on a task as compared to when they believe they have completed it. In the present research, Type A and Type B women reported symptoms either at the end or in the middle of listening to unpredictable, predictable or ambient noise in the laboratory. Results showed that unpredictable noise produced more symptom reporting than predictable noise, which in turn produced more symptom reporting than the ambient noise; Type A individuals reported fewer symptoms in the middle of the task than at the end, whereas Type B's did not show this differential effect. Thus, both hypotheses were confirmed. Several possible explanations of the results are offered, and implications of the findings are discussed.
