Facial expressions like Glare and Disgust distinguish Type A individuals, correlating with hostility. This research offers insights into assessing coronary-prone behaviors and their link to heart disease risk.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Behavioral Medicine
  • Cardiology

Background:

  • The Type A behavior pattern is linked to coronary heart disease (CHD).
  • Early descriptions focused on motoric and nonverbal signs of this pattern.
  • Hostility is a key component of Type A behavior associated with CHD.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate facial behaviors during the Type A Structured Interview.
  • To explore the relationship between facial expressions, speech components, and heart rate reactivity in Type A and Type B individuals.
  • To assess the utility of facial behaviors in identifying coronary-prone behaviors.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Facial Action Coding System (FACS) to analyze facial behaviors during the Type A Structured Interview.
  • Assessed 24 Type A and 24 Type B men.

  • Examined speech components and heart rate reactivity alongside facial expressions.

    • Main Results:

    • Glare and Disgust facial expressions significantly differentiated Type A individuals from Type B individuals.
    • Facial scores for Glare and Disgust correlated with speech components, particularly Hostility.
    • No significant differences in heart rate reactivity were observed between Type A and Type B groups.

    Conclusions:

    • Facial behaviors, specifically Glare and Disgust, can serve as indicators of Type A behavior.
    • Hostility, as expressed facially and verbally, is a significant correlate of coronary-prone behavior.
    • Findings suggest potential for using facial behavior analysis in assessing CHD risk.
