Cardiovascular Reactions and Impatience in Type A and B College Students
The cardiovascular responses of male student volunteers varying in the component behaviors comprising Type A were compared in a choice reaction (RT) task. Since the incidence of coronary heart disease is correlated with Type, the relation of cardiovascular responses to these components is of interest. One component of Type A, impatience, was elicited by a choice RT task with long intertrial intervals. A second component, competitiveness, was elic…
Cardiovascular Responses of Boys Exhibiting the Type A Behavior Pattern
Two experiments measured the cardiovascular responses of fourth- and fifth- grade boys to tasks that were relevant to Type A characteristics. Boys were classified as Type A or Type B by the Adolescent Structured Interview (ASI) and Matthews Youth Test for Health (MYTH). Results showed that ASI and MYTH assessments were significantly and moderately correlated--a finding similar to the association among Type A measures in adulthood. During the comp…
The Impatience of Youth
Impatience, one major Type A characteristic, alters the performance of tasks requiring anticipation and accurate responding. Beat-by-beat changes in heart rate are also known to occur during anticipatory attention. In college- and middle-aged adult samples, impatience is related to these beat-by-beat heart rate changes during anticipatory attention. The objective of the current study was to see if this relationship was also present in children cl…
Type A Components and Psychophysiological Responses to an Attention-Demanding Performance Task1
Although Type A and B individuals appear to differ in psychophysiological responsivity, situations eliciting these differences have not been specified. The current experiment parametrically manipulated response speed in order to examine differences between behavior types in psychophysiological responsivity to this variable. Cardiovascular responses and performance in this paced task were compared to those from a task performed without explicit sp…
