Summary

Long-term Type A behavior pattern (TABP) analysis reveals moderate stability in behavioral components. However, specific elements like hostility and competitiveness reliably increased in Type A individuals over time.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Behavioral Science
  • Cardiology

Background:

  • The Type A behavior pattern (TABP) is a significant factor in cardiovascular health.
  • Longitudinal studies are crucial for understanding behavioral changes over time.
  • The Western Collaborative Group Study provides a unique dataset for such investigations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate long-term changes in the Type A behavior pattern (TABP).
  • To analyze specific behavioral components within the TABP.
  • To compare changes in TABP components with global TABP shifts.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a recently developed methodology to score 565 Structured Interviews (SI) from surviving subjects.
  • Compared current SI scores with 1960-1961 intake interview ratings.

  • Calculated test-retest correlations for seven behavioral components.

    • Main Results:

    • Moderate stability (correlations .29 to .55) was observed for seven SI behavioral components.
    • Significant mean changes were found in Type A Content, Exactingness, Competitiveness, and Hostility.
    • Increases in Competitiveness and Hostility were reliably observed in Type A subjects, but not Type B subjects.

    Conclusions:

    • Observed changes in Hostility, Competitiveness, and Exactingness support a shift towards the Type A behavior pattern.
    • These findings contribute to understanding the dynamic nature of TABP over extended periods.
    • The study highlights the Type A behavior pattern's potential evolution and its relation to specific behavioral components.
