    Analyzing speech patterns during interviews revealed distinct Type A behavior characteristics. Expressive speech differentiated behavior types, while content analysis predicted typing based on the Jenkins Activity Survey.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Behavioral Science
    • Speech Analysis

    Background:

    • Type A behavior is linked to coronary heart disease.
    • Assessing Type A behavior traditionally relies on interviews and surveys.
    • Speech characteristics offer a potential, underexplored avenue for behavioral assessment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the utility of speech characteristics in assessing Type A behavior.
    • To compare interview-based typing with the Jenkins Activity Survey.
    • To explore the relationship between interviewer and respondent speech patterns and behavior types.

    Main Methods:

    • Recorded interviews were analyzed for speech characteristics of interviewers and respondents.
    • Stepwise regression analysis was used to identify predictive speech features.

  • Jenkins Activity Survey served as a criterion for comparison.

    • Main Results:

    • Expressive speech characteristics were key discriminators of Type A behavior in interviews.
    • Only the content of respondents' answers predicted typing on the Jenkins Activity Survey.
    • Interview and survey assessments appear to capture independent aspects of Type A behavior.

    Conclusions:

    • Speech analysis, particularly expressive features, can refine Type A behavior assessment.
    • Speech characteristics may serve as psychological predictors for coronary heart disease risk.
    • Further research can integrate speech analysis into behavioral and health assessments.
