ANTECEDENTS OF THE TYPE A BEHAVIOR PATTERN

我们研究计划的总体目标是确定 A型行为模式的生物心理社会根源。 在下一个 三年后，我们建议评估个体类型的家庭模式， A行为，其相关的心血管反应性， 冠心病家族史、性别、应对方式、 经历焦虑和愤怒，以及父母抚养孩子的做法， 态度。 为实现这一目标，目前所有在 1979年开始进行的纵向队列研究，他们的兄弟姐妹 与案件儿童在同一学区上学，以及 他们的父母（家庭数= 187）将被要求参加一个 单独管理的实验阶段，在此期间，他们将 执行困难的认知任务，令人沮丧的心理任务， 等长运动，同时他们的血压和心率 间歇性测量。 参与者将被给予A型 采用访谈法和问卷调查法对大学生的焦虑应对方式进行了研究 和愤怒 家长只需完成几份关于他们的调查问卷 对孩子成绩的反应和对 抚养孩子 家族病史和A型糖尿病评分 已经从家长和神话获得了A型评级的孩子 已经从孩子们的老师那里得到了。 此外，本发明还提供了一种方法， 计划仅对儿童进行三项子研究。 这些目标 子研究是为了评估（a）儿童的普遍性 实验室应激源诱发的心血管反应 自然发生的压力源-在课堂上发表演讲;（B） 儿童任务诱发心血管事件一年内的一致性 回答和他们的A型面试行为;以及（c） 儿童在课堂上的A型行为及其决定因素 在这六年中，大约有190名儿童参加了 儿童A型行为的纵向研究。

The overall objective of our research program is to identify the biopsychosocial origins of the Type A behavior pattern. During the next three years, we propose to assess the familial patterns of individual Type A behaviors, their associated cardiovascular reactivity, and their determinants including family history of CHD, sex, modes of coping with and experiencing anxiety and anger, and parental childrearing practices and attitudes. To achieve this objective, all children currently enrolled in the ongoing longitudinal cohort study begun in 1979, their siblings attending school in the same school district as the case children, and their parents (number of families = 187) will be asked to participate in an individually administered experimental session, during which they will perform a difficult cognitive task, a frustrating psychomotor task, and an isometric exercise while their blood pressure and heart rate are intermittently measured. Participants will be administered the Type A interview and several questionnaires on their modes of coping with anxiety and anger. Parents only will complete several questionnaires on their reactions to their children's achievement and attitudes toward childrearing. Family medical history and Framingham Type A scores were already obtained from the parents and MYTH Type A ratings of the children were already obtained from the children's classroom teachers. In addition, three substudies of children only are planned. The aims of these substudies are to assess (a) the generalizability of children's cardiovascular responses to laboratory stressors to those induced by a naturally occurring stressor -- making a speech in class; (b) the consistency across one year of children's task-induced cardiovascular responses and their Type A interview behavior; and (c) the consistency of children's Type A behaviors in the classroom and their determinants across the six years during which approximately 190 children have been enrolled in the longitudinal study of children's Type A behaviors.
