Key result
Type A individuals experienced specific stress-linked symptoms more intensely than their Type B peers.
Why the study?
Does Type A behavior increase the intensity of stress-linked symptoms in undergraduate students compared to Type B behavior?
Cross-Sectional (n=472)
Does Type A behavior increase the intensity of stress-linked symptoms in undergraduate students compared to Type B behavior?
Type A behavior is associated with more intense self-reported stress-linked symptoms among undergraduate students.
May inform student wellness screening; leaves open causality and generalizability beyond this cross-sectional sample.
To measure the relationship between Type A-B behavior and stress-linked symptoms, a group of undergraduates were asked to respond to the Glass version of the Jenkins Activity Survey and a 25-item stress-linked symptoms checklist. Data from 472 students were analyzed. As predicted, the results indicated that Type A persons experience specific stress-linked symptoms more intensely than their Type B peers.
