“…This cerebral approach is more effective with individuals who are intellectually astute and career oriented. Jenni and Wollersheim (1979) found cognitive interventions effective in reducing typical Type A behaviors that exacerbated the experience of stress. The didactic approach is supported by Lazarus (1967) and Lazarus and Folkman (1984) who suggested that part of the intervention ought to provide individuals with much needed information concerning the processes they were experiencing.…”

“…Few Type A intervention studies have been conducted (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7). Those Received for publication May 20, 1983; revision received February 21, 1984. done used the same general approach.…”

“…Those Received for publication May 20, 1983; revision received February 21, 1984. done used the same general approach. Following the hypothesis that the pathway leading from behavior to CHD is the chronic sympathetic nervous system arousal accompanying chronic Type A hyperreactivity (1), targets of treatment were to reduce the frequency, intensity, and duration of physiologic (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7), cognitive (4)(5)(6)(7), and/or behavioral (2,6) hyperreactivity. The most common research design evaluated the effectiveness with which a variety of therapeutic approaches [e.g., physical relaxation (2)(3)(4)(5)(6), cognitive self-instruction (7), insight (4,5), group support (6)] reduced Type A hyperreactivity in small groups of subjects (from 14 to 42) over short periods of time (from 5 to 14 hr).…”

Reductions in the type A behavior pattern (TABP) were assessed using Type A questionnaires [e.g., the Jenkins Activity Survey (3)(4)(5)(6), the Framingham Type A Behavior Scale (6), the Bortner Type A Rating Scale (7), Type A components questionnaires (e.g., the Novaco Anger Scale (6), the Thurstone Adjective Checklist (6)], and measures of psychologic distress [e.g., the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (3,5)]. To evaluate the clinical significance of the behavioral change, observations were made on indices of sympathetic nervous system reactivity at rest and under challenge [e.g., blood pressure (4-7), heart rate (6), cholesterol (2,4,5,7), free fatty acids (6)].…”

The feasibility of altering a Type A style of life was investigated in 1012 nonsmoking predominantly male postinfarction volunteers in the San Francisco Bay area. A total of 862 were randomly allocated into an experimental section receiving a combination of Type A and cardiac counseling, or a control section receiving cardiac counseling alone. The remaining 150 formed a nonrandom but statistically equivalent comparison section. Assessments of change in Type A behavior were made by the participant, his or her spouse, a work colleague, and an independent rater of a videotaped structured interview. Psychometric analyses indicated that these instruments were valid and reliable measures of Type A behavior. After 24 months, participants receiving Type A/cardiac counseling exhibited a significantly greater reduction in Type A behavior than the other two sections, and had a lower cardiovascular recurrence rate than the comparison section only. No differences among the three sections were observed in total cholesterol or resting blood pressure. The results suggest that Type A behavior can be altered by group counseling in postinfarction volunteers and that such alteration is superior to no group counseling at all in the secondary prevention of coronary heart disease.

Competitive situations induced hormonal changes, depending on the outcome, victory or defeat. This study aimed to investigate the salivary testosterone (T) and cortisol (C) and the mental state responses to a real judo championship. Data about individuals’ anxiety levels, strategies of coping, and patterns of behavior were thus collected. The relationship between hormonal changes and psychological variables were also analyzed. Our results showed a C response to competition, which was especially characterized by an anticipatory rise. Depending on outcome, results did not show statistically significant different C responses. The T values noted after the last fight were significantly greater in the losers than those obtained in the winners. Hormonal response did not show a relationship with psychological variables depending on the outcome. Losers showed just before the first fight an elevated cognitive anxiety, accompanied by low self‐confidence. Moreover, they were characterized by type B behavior. Types of coping strategies also differentiated losers from winners. Finally, even if no relationships between hormonal and psychological variables depending on the outcome were found, our results showed that state and trait psychological variables, as well as the coping strategies, must be taken into account to better understand the response to competitive situations.
