An Alternative Perspective Concerning the Differential Psychophysiological Responsivity of Persons with the Type A and Type B Behavior Patterns.

Holmes, David S.

Journal of Research in Personality, v17 n1 p40-47 Mar 1983

Reviewed task-related differences in physiological arousal between Type A and Type B persons and found that differences are less consistent and of a smaller magnitude than what is usually assumed. Furthermore, the median difference in systolic blood pressure between Type A and Type B persons working on tasks was small. (Author/JAC)
