Consistency and variation among instruments purporting to measure the Type A behavior pattern.

    Summary

    The Type A behavior pattern (TABP) is complex and not unitary. While self-report measures capture only parts of TABP, the Structured Interview remains a key measure for assessing this coronary heart disease risk factor.

    Area of Science:

    • Behavioral Medicine
    • Psychocardiology
    • Health Psychology

    Background:

    • The Type A behavior pattern (TABP) is associated with coronary heart disease (CHD) risk.
    • Existing instruments for measuring TABP may not capture its full complexity.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate a broad range of Type A behavior pattern instruments.
    • To assess the association between different TABP measures in men at risk for CHD.

    Main Methods:

    • Application of multiple TABP measurement instruments.
    • Data collection from a large sample of men at risk of coronary heart disease.

    Main Results:

    • Significant variation in the strengths of association between different TABP measures.

  • Self-report measures of TABP capture only partial aspects of the overall behavior pattern.
  • The Structured Interview (SI) shows modest and consistent associations with other TABP instruments.

    • Conclusions:

    • The Type A behavior pattern is a complex, multifaceted construct, not a unitary one.
    • Self-report TABP measures have limitations in assessing the complete behavior pattern.
    • The Structured Interview is recommended as a primary measure for TABP assessment, though new measures are needed.
