Objective: Several studies have demonstrated the relationship between temporomandibular disorder (TMD) and emotional stress. Nonetheless, few surveys have examined the relationship between type A behavior patterns and TMD. The aim of this study was to clarify the relationships among TMD, type A behavior patterns, bruxism, and emotional stress in Japanese undergraduate students.Methods: This study was undertaken in Nayoro City, Japan, in 2015, among students of Nayoro City University. The survey was conducted through an anonymous, self-administered, multiple-choice questionnaire. Information was gathered on items evaluating the extent of TMD symptoms, bruxism, type A behavior patterns, and proneness and sensitivity to emotional stress.Results: The questionnaire recovery rate was 31.8% (175/551). There was a high likelihood of TMD in 16.1% of respondents, which is comparable to the findings of previous surveys on Japanese high school students. In keeping with previous studies, we confirmed significant relationships between TMD and both emotional stress and bruxism. A weak but statistically significant association was found between TMD and type A behavior patterns.Conclusion: We propose that TMD may be one of the diseases related to the type A behavior pattern.

“…Indeed, Friedman and Rosenman (1974) observed anecdotally that, although Type A individuals are not devoid of humor, they are less likely than their Type B counterparts to make use of humor äs a way of coping with hostility and stress. In addition, Goldstein, Mantell, Pope, and Derks (1988) found that, among a sample of adult cardiac patients, Type A individuals preferred hostile to non-hostile jokes, whereas Type B's enjoyed both types of jokes equally.…”

This study examined the circumstances surrounding the natural occurrence of laughter in everyday life. Eighty Community participants (50 women and 30 men), ranging in age from 17 to 79, each completed a daily laughter record for three days, along with self-report measures of laughter responsiveness, coping humor, and Type A personality characteristics. Laughter incidents were coded according to time ofday, source and Initiator of laughter, andwhether the individual was ahne or with others. On average, participants reported approximately 18 daily incidents of laughter, but with wide individual Variation being evident (0 to 89 incidents per day). Frequency of laughter also generally increased throughout the day, being most pronounced in the evenings. The most prominent source of daily laughter was spontaneous situational laughter, with "canned" jokes accounting for the least amount ofnaturally generated laughter. In accord with the primarily social nature of laughter, most incidents of laughter occurredin thepresence of others, and were also initiatedby others. Overall, men and women did not differ in the frequency with which they laughed. However, gender differences did emerge when age was taken into account. Older women tended to laugh less frequently than didyounger women, but this age difference was not found in men. In addition, for both men and women, older individuals did not show the general increase in frequency of laughter during the evening. Gender differences also emerged in the correlations between total laughter frequency and personality variables. For example, a higher frequency of daily laughter was associated with greater Type A characteristics in men, but with fewer Type A characteristics in women. These findings are discussed in terms of possible gender differences in the meaning andfunction of laughter.

Abstract-The technological revolution of this decade ha-s certainly brought about many changes in the functioning of libraries nowadays. Although it has allowed work to be carried out faster and more efficiently, many library professionals are not comfortable with the implementation of technology as it involves change and uncertainty. As a result, they develop additional stress known as techno stress which may have negative impact in the activities of libraries.This study intends to find out the relationship between the personality type and techno stress among library professionals of engineering colleges of Anna University Technology, Coimbatore based on a questionnaire, comprising of demographic factors and personality type and techno stress of the respondents. The results of the study are presented with suitable hypotheses and relevant interpretation.
