Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Cardiovascular Health
  • Social Support

Background:

  • Type A behavior pattern is linked to increased coronary disease risk.
  • Reduced social support is hypothesized as a mediator for this risk.
  • Sex differences in the relationship between Type A behavior and social support are under-explored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To test Matthews's hypothesis on social support mediating coronary disease risk in Type A individuals.
  • To investigate potential sex differences in the relationship between Type A traits and social support.
  • To examine the correlation between Jenkins Activity Survey (JAS) scores and social support satisfaction.

Main Methods:

  • Participants included 72 women and 57 men undergraduate students.
  • Data collected using the Jenkins Activity Survey (JAS) and the Sarason Social Support Questionnaire.
  • Statistical analysis to determine correlations between JAS subscales and social support satisfaction.

Main Results:

  • For women, higher Type A and Speed and Impatience scores on the JAS were negatively correlated with social support satisfaction.
  • For men, Type A scores on the JAS were positively correlated with social support satisfaction.
  • Significant sex differences were observed in the Type A-social support relationship.

Conclusions:

  • Findings suggest that the relationship between Type A behavior and social support differs significantly between sexes.
  • The study underscores the importance of considering sex as a critical variable in understanding Type A behavior and cardiovascular health.
  • Further research is warranted to explore the implications of these sex-specific findings for coronary disease susceptibility.
