The relation of Type A behaviors to parental child-rearing attitudes was assessed for 177 mothers, 153 fathers, and their children in preschools. Type A behaviors of children were measured on the Japanese version of the Matthews Youth Test for Health (MYTH), and parental child-rearing attitudes were measured on the Parents' Attitudes Test (PAT). Children were classified as Type A and Type B on the basis of their MYTH scores, and parental child-rearing attitudes in the two types were compared in a combination of parental sex (mothers vs fathers) and child's sex (boys vs girls). Analysis showed that especially mothers and fathers of Type A boys had less concern for their children than their peers whose boys were classified as Type B. The notion that boys showing Type A behaviors might develop Type A behavior patterns by striving to obtain more expression of concern or affection from their parents was presented.
对177名母亲、153名父亲及其在幼儿园的孩子进行了A型行为与父母育儿态度之间关系的评估。儿童的A型行为通过日本版的马修斯青少年健康测试（MYTH）进行测量，父母的育儿态度通过父母态度测试（PAT）进行测量。根据儿童的MYTH分数将其分为A型和B型，并结合父母性别（母亲与父亲）和孩子性别（男孩与女孩）对两种类型的父母育儿态度进行比较。分析表明，尤其是A型男孩的母亲和父亲对孩子的关注比其男孩被归类为B型的同龄人少。有人提出，表现出A型行为的男孩可能会通过努力从父母那里获得更多的关注或爱来发展A型行为模式。
