As part of the National Heart and Lung Institute multicenter study of twins, 190 twin pairs (93 MZ, 97 DZ) residing in California and aged 44-55 years were comprehensively studied for all risk factors for coronary heart disease and for Behavior Pattern Type A or B. Psychological tests included MMPI, CPI, 16 Cattell PF, Gough Adjective Check List (ACL), Thurstone Temperament Schedule (TTS). Heritability at statistically significant levels was found only for scales of TTS. Twelve scales of ACL and five scales of TTS showed significant correlations with Behavior Pattern Type A-B as well as with several risk factors, including blood pressure and serum lipids. Multiple regression equations were constructed for those characteristics accounting for significant and unique portions of the total variance of Type A-B Behavior. The use of certain scales of ACL and TTS may provide a new questionnaire for screening purposes in the assessment of Behavior Pattern Type A-B.
作为美国国立心肺研究所双胞胎多中心研究的一部分，对居住在加利福尼亚州、年龄在44至55岁之间的190对双胞胎（93对同卵双胞胎，97对异卵双胞胎）进行了全面研究，涵盖冠心病的所有危险因素以及A或B型行为模式。心理测试包括明尼苏达多相人格调查表（MMPI）、加州心理调查表（CPI）、卡特尔16种人格因素问卷（16 Cattell PF）、高夫形容词核对表（ACL）、瑟斯顿气质量表（TTS）。仅在TTS量表上发现了具有统计学显著水平的遗传力。ACL的12个量表和TTS的5个量表与A - B型行为模式以及包括血压和血脂在内的几个危险因素显示出显著相关性。针对那些占A - B型行为总方差显著且独特部分的特征构建了多元回归方程。使用ACL和TTS的某些量表可能会为评估A - B型行为模式提供一种用于筛查目的的新问卷。
