This paper is concerned with how Type A and B subjects perceive themselves. Subjects first completed a unidimensional A type measure, then rated themselves and their ideal selves on various personality traits. As expected, Type A was associated with negative self-ratings and high actual-ideal self-discrepancy scores. However, it is argued that self-evaluation in negative terms by Type As is not necessarily synonymous with low self-esteem. Negative self-ratings may be an important factor in the aetiology and maintenance of the Type A behaviour pattern.
本文关注的是A型和B型受试者如何看待自己。受试者首先完成了一项单维度的A型测量，然后就各种人格特质对自己和理想中的自己进行评分。正如预期的那样，A型与负面的自我评分以及较高的实际-理想自我差异得分相关。然而，有人认为，A型人用负面词汇进行自我评价并不一定等同于低自尊。负面的自我评分可能是A型行为模式病因学和维持过程中的一个重要因素。
