“…One hundred and four female psychology undergraduates at the University of Paris VIII completed the Bortner scale (French version). The validity and reliability of this scale have been demonstrated by several European research teams (Defourny & Frankignoul, 1973;Pichot et al 1977). It consists of 14 items.…”

SynopsisThe present study examined sensitivity to noise in subjects with Type A and Type B behaviour patterns as a function of the type of task being performed. Twenty Type A and 20 Type B subjects, selected by means of Bortner's scale (French version), were exposed to steadily increasing noise levels (68–110 dBA) while performing two tasks. The first was simple (crossing out) and the second was more complex (memorizing nonsense syllables). There was no difference between the groups on the simple task, but on the more complex task Type A and Type B subjects reacted differently, the former maintaining their level of tolerance while the latter lowered theirs. High investment and the desire to succeed may lead Type A subjects to ignore the acoustic environment and/or to deny the aversive aspects of noise as cognitive strategies for coping with stress.

“…By design, therefore, one would not expect it to have a high internal consistency. What is more important is that it has a strong degree of association with the Structured Interview for Type A behaviour, both in the USA (Bortner & Rosenman, 1969) and in Europe (Defourny & Frankignoul, 1973) and its scores have now been demonstrated to have an association with peripheral vascular atherosclerosis (Adler & Galeazzi, 1977).…”

Pressured Pattern or Type A Behavior in Patients with Peripheral Arteriovascular Disease: Controlled Retrospective Exploratory Study*

The question as to whether a specific behavior or type A pattern is limited to patients with coronary artery disease, or is found in atherosclerotic disease, in general, is explored. The interrelationship between a pattern of "pressured" behavior, assessed by open ended interviews, type A behavior, determined by the Bortner test, and peripheral atherosclerotic disease was investigated in a controlled retrospective study which compared three groups of 13 patients each: intermittent claudication (IC), intermittent claudication combined with coronary artery disease (CADIC) and a control group of patients without vascular disease (WVD). A pressured behavior pattern, assessed by interview, was found to be most prominent in the CADIC group, and least in the control group. The subjects with arteriovascular disease tended to exert more control over people compared to the WVD patients (Fisher's exact probability test, p = 0.05). The tendency to type A behavior, measured by means of the Bortner scale, also differentiated the three groups with CADIC scoring highest and WVD scoring lowest (analysis of variance, F = 3.944, p less than 0.05). IC patients present personality features of proneness to coronary disease. The pattern of "pressured" and type A behavior seem to correlate with the number of vascular areas involved in atherosclerotic disease.
