Interpersonal aggression and the type A coronary-prone behavior pattern: a theoretical distinction and practical

M J Strube, C W Turner, D Cerro

    Journal of Personality and Social Psychology
    |October 1, 1984

    Summary

    Type A individuals exhibit more hostile aggression than Type B individuals, particularly when their actions cannot influence immediate outcomes. This heightened aggression in Type As, linked to a lack of control, is evident in both experimental settings and intrafamily violence cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Social Psychology
    • Personality Psychology

    Background:

    • Previous research indicates Type A individuals display more aggression than Type B.
    • The specific nature and implications of this aggression remain underexplored.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the distinction between hostile and instrumental aggression in Type A and Type B personalities.
    • To examine the practical implications of this distinction in real-world scenarios.

    Main Methods:

    • Study 1 utilized a modified Buss teacher-learner paradigm to differentiate hostile and instrumental aggression.
    • Study 2 analyzed the prevalence of Type A and Type B personalities among perpetrators of intrafamily violence.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Type A individuals exhibited greater hostile aggression than Type B individuals following task frustration, specifically when aggression could not impact immediate performance.
    • Type A individuals were disproportionately represented among perpetrators of child abuse, indicating extreme hostility.

    Conclusions:

    • The findings suggest that a lack of control may be the underlying factor contributing to the increased aggression observed in Type A individuals.
    • Distinguishing between hostile and instrumental aggression provides valuable insights into the behavioral patterns of Type A personalities.
