This study explored the link between Type A coronary-prone behavior and psychoanalytic anal character traits. Results showed a significant positive correlation, suggesting overlap between these psychological constructs.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Behavioral Science
  • Psychoanalytic Theory

Background:

  • Type A coronary-prone behavior pattern is characterized by competitiveness, time urgency, and hostility.
  • Psychoanalytic theory describes the anal character as exhibiting traits like orderliness, stinginess, and obstinacy.
  • Despite descriptive similarities, empirical investigation into the overlap between these constructs is limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To empirically investigate the extent of overlap between the Type A behavior pattern and the anal character.
  • To determine if individuals scoring high on measures of anality also exhibit Type A behaviors.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized Pearson product-moment correlations to analyze data.
  • Employed the Kline Anality Scale and the Jenkins Activity Survey.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Data collected from three distinct samples of male introductory psychology students.

    • Main Results:

    • Three positive correlations were observed between anality scores and Jenkins Activity Survey scores.
    • Two of these correlations were statistically significant.
    • A significant overall combined probability (p < .005) indicated a reliable association.

    Conclusions:

    • The findings provide empirical support for the overlap between Type A behavior and anal character traits.
    • Suggests that certain personality dimensions may underlie both constructs.
    • Implications for understanding the Type A literature and psychoanalytic concepts are discussed.
