    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Behavioral Science
    • Health Psychology

    Background:

    • Type A behavior is a pattern of personality and behavior associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
    • Sex-role identification, assessed using the Bem Sex-Role Inventory (BSRI), categorizes individuals based on their endorsement of masculine and feminine traits.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between sex-role identification and Type A behavior.
    • To determine if specific sex-role orientations are associated with higher levels of Type A behavior.

    Main Methods:

    • Sixty-four participants were categorized into four groups based on BSRI scores: Androgynous, Masculine, Feminine, or Undifferentiated.
    • Type A behavior was measured using the Behavior Activity Profile.
    • Statistical analyses controlled for biological sex.

    Main Results:

    • The Masculine group demonstrated significantly higher Type A behavior scores compared to the Androgynous, Feminine, and Undifferentiated groups.
    • Type A behavior showed a significant positive correlation with both Masculinity and Femininity scales of the BSRI, despite the scales' statistical independence.

    Conclusions:

    • Identification with masculine traits, irrespective of biological sex, is strongly associated with Type A behavior.
    • While potentially beneficial for psychological well-being, a strong masculine identification may have detrimental long-term medical consequences due to its link with Type A behavior.
