چکیده
Type A "coronary-prone" behavior is known to be an important causal factor in the etiology and ontogenesis of coronary-artery and heart disease. Exploratory research indicates that interpersonal dominance is one of the strongest correlates of iype A behavior, although little effort has been made to demonstrate a link between the behavioral manifestation on interpersonal dominance and Pattern A responding. Two studies were conducted to establish such a link. Based upon previous findings that dominance is negatively correlated with conformity, it was hypothesized that Type A. subjects would exhibit greater nonconformity than Type B subjects. Accordingly, extreme A (n=-12) and B (n=11) subjects were run using an Asch conformity 4 paradigm. The results showed that Type B subjects conformed twice as much as Type As, a 'significant difference (2<.02): The same task administered to a subset of the sample and a larger normative sample indicated that social pressure to conform was responsible for ' 'differences in judgemental accuracy of stimuli (conformity measure). In Experiment Two,' all possible combinations of extreme As (n=42) and Bs (n42) were matched in dyads which negotiated extreme bi-polar opposite positions on a "teacher dismissal" issue. Analyses of process and outcome behaviors suggested that Type A individuals are' unilaterally more dominant than their Type B counterparts. Possible restrictions on these results and physiological mechanisms mediating douinan0 and, cardiovascular disease are discussed in the context of recommendations for future research.

Dimensions of social insecurity and their relation to coronary-prone behaviour in college undergraduates.
Research suggests that Type A behaviour and 'social insecurity' (SI) may represent independent additive task factors for coronary disease. Research examining SI and Type A behaviour, however, has not rigorously evaluated the structure of the SI scale. The present study examined the structure of a previously used eight-item SI scale, and its relation to a questionnaire measure of Type A (the stu...
