TYPE A BEHAVIOR PATTERN A Model for Research and Practice
This bool< provides a practical conceptual model of the coronary risk factor known as Type A behavior Based on extensive " : clinical experience with coronary and noncoronary men and women, as well as the author's broad background in the study : and clinical application of cognitive social learning theory, the ; model integrates and clarifies the extensive body of research on ^ the Type A concept. It also considers how specific environmen-l : tal, behavioral, cognitive, and physiological factors interact to produce and maintain the Type A pattern.
The book addresses such questions as ii- • What are the integrating principles or concepts of Type A behavior, and how do they relate to the observable behaviors associated with Type A? . ¦ • How is the Type A pattern learned? . • What accounts for the apparent persistence of Type A - r behavior throughout adult life, despite its obvious risks? = • What physiological processes...

The book addresses such questions as ii- • What are the integrating principles or concepts of Type A behavior, and how do they relate to the observable behaviors associated with Type A? . ¦ • How is the Type A pattern learned? . • What accounts for the apparent persistence of Type A - r behavior throughout adult life, despite its obvious risks? = • What physiological processes may provide the link between j- Type A behavior and coronary heart diseases?
• What are the implications of the proposed model for assess-¦ ment and treatment intervention? ^
Other topics discussed include sex differences in Type A behavior, which Type A individuals are more likely to suffer a heart attack, and factors that may affect the likelihood of heart attack. .
