Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Type A behavior is associated with increased stress and potential health risks.
  • Identifying effective interventions for Type A behavior is crucial for promoting well-being.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of group Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) in reducing Type A behavior.
  • To assess the maintenance of treatment gains at follow-up.

Main Methods:

  • 44 male Type A insurance representatives were randomly assigned to a treatment or delayed treatment control group.
  • The treatment group received 9 weekly sessions of group REBT.
  • Measures included the Videotaped Structured Interview, Jenkins Activity Survey, Cook-Medley Hostility Scale, Type A Cognitive Questionnaire, and Bortner Rating Scale.

Main Results:

  • REBT significantly reduced the intensity of Type A behavior and its time urgency component compared to the control group.
  • Improvements in Type A behavior were maintained at the 10-week follow-up.
  • Participants reported significant positive changes in Type A behavior and irrational beliefs.

Conclusions:

  • Group REBT is an effective intervention for reducing Type A behavior and its components.
  • The positive effects of REBT on Type A behavior are sustainable over time.
  • REBT may contribute to modifying maladaptive cognitive patterns associated with Type A behavior.
