Caregiver-child interactions and the type A coronary-prone behavior pattern.

K A Matthews

    Child Development
    |December 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    Type A behavior in children, characterized by impatience, elicits more caregiver pushing and positive task evaluation from Type B caregivers. Type A caregivers, however, did not alter their behavior based on the child

    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Behavioral Science
    • Health Psychology

    Background:

    • Type A behavior, a risk factor for heart disease, involves impatience and competitive striving.
    • Type B behavior is characterized by patience and less competitive drive.
    • Prior studies noted differences in maternal responses to Type A versus Type B children.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate how Type A and Type B boys' behaviors elicit responses from unfamiliar female caregivers.
    • To determine if caregiver behavior patterns (Type A vs. Type B) influence their reactions to child behavior.

    Main Methods:

    • Experimental design examining stranger caregiver responses to boys exhibiting Type A or Type B behavior.
    • Observation of caregiver behaviors, specifically 'pushing' and 'positive task evaluation'.
    • Analysis of child effects based on caregiver's own behavior pattern.

    Main Results:

    • Type A boys elicited significantly more pushing and positive task evaluation from Type B caregivers compared to Type B boys.
    • Type A caregivers showed no significant difference in their responses to Type A versus Type B boys.
    • Caregiver responsiveness varied based on their own behavior pattern.

    Conclusions:

    • Caregiver behavior patterns influence their responses to child-elicited behaviors.
    • Type B caregivers are more sensitive to behavioral differences between Type A and Type B children.
    • Type A caregivers appear less responsive to variations in children's behavior patterns.
