This study quantifies stress in factory workers using Type A behavior patterns. Irritability (component score 1) linked to hunger pains, while relaxation (component score 2) associated with reduced heartburn and thirst.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Psychology
  • Behavioral Science

Context:

  • Quantitative stress assessment remains a challenge.
  • Investigating the link between Type A behavior and stress symptoms in industrial workers.

Purpose:

  • To quantify stress evaluation using the Type A behavior pattern.
  • To analyze the association between Type A behavior components and self-reported stress symptoms.

Summary:

  • 1,101 factory workers completed questionnaires on symptoms, Type A behaviors, shift work, age, and lifestyle.
  • Three component scores from Type A behavior pattern were calculated.
  • Stepwise logistic regression analyzed 8 stress-related symptoms against shift work, age, lifestyle, and Type A component scores.

Impact:

  • Overall irritability (component score 1) positively associated with hunger pains.
  • Relaxation (component score 2) negatively associated with heartburn/gastric reflux and abnormal thirst, both significantly.
  • Findings suggest Type A behavior components can quantify specific stress symptom experiences.
