Abstract: Abstract Extensive research has been conducted on the role of the Type A behavior pattern (TABP) in the development of coronary heart disease (CHD). TABP was initially identified by Friedman and Rosenman (1959), who noted that patients with more severe CHD tended to exhibit competitiveness, time urgency, aggressiveness, and hostility. Since this initial work, numerous studies have examined the relationship between TABP and the prevalence and incidence of CHD (e.g., French-Belgian Collaborative Group, 1982; Haynes, Feinleib, & Kannel, 1980; Rosenman et al., 1975). Though somewhat mixed, available evidence indicates a modest relationship between TABP and the development of CHD (Booth-Kewley & Friedman, 1987; Matthews, 1988).
