Summary

The Type A behavior pattern (TABP) is not solely about dominance, as some studies suggest. Research indicates TABP relates to authoritarian behaviors, but not the entire authoritarian personality construct.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Medical Psychology

Background:

  • The Type A behavior pattern (TABP) has been linked to authoritarianism.
  • Some researchers propose TABP is primarily an expression of dominance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between TABP and various measures of the authoritarian personality.
  • To determine if TABP is conceptually equivalent to authoritarianism.

Main Methods:

  • Examined correlations between multiple measures of TABP and authoritarianism.
  • Analyzed which facets of authoritarianism are associated with TABP.

Main Results:

  • TABP measures showed modest associations only with authoritarianism measures reflecting authoritarian behaviors.
  • These correlations suggest a shared facet of dominance but not conceptual equivalence.

Conclusions:

  • The Type A behavior pattern is not reducible to authoritarianism or solely dominance.
  • A multidimensional view is necessary to understand TABP in medical psychology.
