Two groups of Type A subjects who received either anxiety management training focused on coping with anger and hostility or operant self-control procedures were compared with a control group. Treated subjects compared to controls showed significant reductions in the overall Type A behavior, hard-driving/competitive, and speed/impatience scores. The results supported the hypothesis that both self-control training methods provide the opportunity to adapt more effective coping strategies and to rely less on Type A coping techniques. Self-control procedures such as anxiety management training and operant self-control are promising methods for reducing Type A behaviors even in the Japanese culture. Implications of selecting the most effective treatment for each CHD-pathogenic behavior are discussed.
将两组接受了专注于应对愤怒和敌意的焦虑管理训练或操作性自我控制程序的 A 型受试者与一个对照组进行了比较。与对照组相比，接受治疗的受试者在整体 A 型行为、拼命工作/竞争以及速度/不耐烦得分方面有显著降低。结果支持了这样的假设，即两种自我控制训练方法都提供了采用更有效应对策略并减少对 A 型应对技巧依赖的机会。诸如焦虑管理训练和操作性自我控制等自我控制程序是减少 A 型行为的有前景的方法，即使在日本文化中也是如此。讨论了针对每种冠心病致病行为选择最有效治疗方法的意义。
