A Study on less than ordinary emotional anger and hostility of Type A behavior pattern

这项研究是为了调查A型行为模式的特征，A型行为模式是冠心病的一种心理行为因素。本研究以A型行为模式中的具体愤怒和敌意为研究对象，采用自填问卷对A型行为模式、愤怒表达和述情倾向进行测量，发现A型行为模式中的愤怒和敌意比一般的愤怒和敌意少。对这些数据的统计分析表明，与非A型人相比，A型人的情绪愤怒和敌意更少。与普通人相比，既有A型行为特征又有述情特征的人表现出模棱两可、冲动和反社会的行为倾向。考察A型行为与交易分析基本立场之间的关系发现，大多数A型人表现出“我好，你不好”的立场，少数人表现出“我不好，你不好”的立场。用问卷测量了“拍子感觉”的特征，对交易分析中的“禁令”和“生活剧本”进行分析，以考察A型人格的特征。结果表明，A型人格的人有很强的“球拍感觉”。然而，这项研究没有显示出A型行为与A型行为和“生活剧本”之间的“禁令”之间有任何明确的关系。
