“…Additionally, a pattern of behavior that involved quick responses and interrupting the interviewer, but not hostility (viz., cluster 4), was found in both unadjusted and adjusted analyses to be positively related to CHD incidence. It is interesting to note that Si-derived measures of quick responses and interrupting the interviewer but not hostility have been found to be positively associated with the desire for control (24) and that simultaneous speech and interruptions have been found to be associated with dominance (25)(26)(27). Thus, the pattern of components associated with cluster 4 suggest that these individuals are characterized by being pressured, controlling, and socially dominant.…”

The purpose of the present study was to empirically identify individuals who differed in their patterns of components derived from the structured interview (SI), and to evaluate whether individuals characterized by the different patterns varied in terms of their risk for coronary heart disease (CHD). The present study represents a reanalysis of data from the Western Collaborative Group Study in which components of Type A were individually related to risk for CHD. Subgroups of individuals who differed in the patterns of their component scores were identified by means of cluster analytic techniques and were found to vary in their risk of CHD. As expected, a pattern of characteristics in which hostility was salient was found to be predictive of CHD. Moreover, another pattern of characteristics that appears to reflect pressured, controlling, socially dominant behavior in which hostility was not salient also was found to be predictive of CHD. Further, two patterns of characteristics were identified that were unrelated to CHD risk. Finally, two patterns of characteristics were identified that were related to reduced risk of CHD. Overall, these results suggest that future research should investigate variables in addition to hostility in regard to risk for and protection from CHD.

“…Effortful attempts to exert dominance or social control have been found to be associated with enhanced cardiovascular reactivity (Smith et al, 1989;Smith et al, 1990) which has been hypothesized to contribute to hastening of CHD (Williams and Barefoot, 1988). Further, in a reanalysis of data derived from the SI and the 8.5-year follow-up of the Western Collaborative Group Study by Houston et al (1992), it was found that, independent of hostility, individuals were at increased risk for CHD who exhibited a group of verbal behaviors (viz., quick responses, interrupting the interviewer) that have been associated with social control or dominance in other research (Burger, 1992;Dembroski et al, 1984;Ferguson, 1977;Holleran, 1994;Linkey and Firestone, 1990).…”

Aggressiveness, dominance, developmental factors, and serum cholesterol level in college males

The present study was conducted to examine for college males relations between aggressiveness (or expressive hostility) and dominance and (a) particular developmental experiences and (b) total serum cholesterol. Aggressiveness but not dominance was found to be positively related to subjects' reports of their parents' behavior which reflected (a) less genuine acceptance, (b) more interference in the person's desires as a child, and (c) more punitiveness. For low-physically fit subjects, both aggressiveness and dominance were found to be positively related to levels of total serum cholesterol. These relations are congruent with the notion that both aggressiveness and dominance may contribute to hastening coronary atherosclerosis and risk of CHD via elevated levels of plasma lipids. It should be noted, however, that the relations obtained in the present study were all modest in size. For high-physically fit individuals associations were not found between total serum cholesterol and either aggressiveness or dominance. These results suggest that good physical fitness may attenuate the degree to which either aggressiveness or dominance may adversely affect health via elevated levels of cholesterol.

“…A motivational measure of desirability of control (Burger & Cooper, 1979) was developed in order to examine individual differences in that need. Those who have greater desire for control (DC) are more likely to utilize Type A speech and behavior patterns (e.g., Dembroski, MacDougall, & Musante, 1984), and to succeed at achievement tasks (Burger, 1985).…”

This contribution examines the degree of compliance with hard and soft power bases (Raven, Schwarzwald, & Koslowsky, 1998) as a function of target motivational and personal orientations. Four field studies were conducted in different European organizations where intrinsic–extrinsic motivational orientations, desire for control, self‐presentational styles, and self‐esteem were respectively considered as antecedents of employees’ compliance with their supervisors’ power strategies. Results show that compliance with soft power strategies is positively related to intrinsic motivation, desire for control, “getting‐ahead” style, and self‐esteem; and negatively related to the “getting‐along” style. Compliance with hard power strategies is positively related to extrinsic motivation and to the getting‐along style, but negatively related to intrinsic motivation, desire for control, and self‐esteem.
