A survey of 136 employed women was conducted. Type A personality, demographic variables, job characteristics and attitudes, health habits, and physical and psychological symptoms of strain were assessed. Average Type A score was higher than the normative mean (57th percentile). Compared with Type Bs, the Type A women had been in their current jobs for a shorter time, worked longer hours, and were less satisfied with their jobs. None of the health habit behaviors was related to Type A score. Small but substantial proportions of the sample complained that they often or always experienced a variety of physical and psychological symptoms. The former were not related to Type A score, but Type A women did tend to report more nervousness in all situations and more dysphoria of all kinds at work. Correlations between job dissatisfaction and rated job stress with symptoms were calculated separately for Type As and Type Bs. Substantial correlations were found for the Type As but not the Type Bs. Dissatisfaction and stress were related to more frequent symptom complaints in the Type As. Correlations of health habits and symptoms were also computed for Type As and Bs separately. Implications for future research are discussed.
对136名职业女性进行了一项调查。评估了A型人格、人口统计学变量、工作特征与态度、健康习惯以及压力的身体和心理症状。A型人格平均得分高于常模均值（第57百分位数）。与B型人格女性相比，A型人格女性从事当前工作的时间较短，工作时间较长，且对工作的满意度较低。健康习惯行为均与A型人格得分无关。样本中有一小部分但比例可观的人抱怨称，他们经常或总是出现各种身体和心理症状。前者与A型人格得分无关，但A型人格女性在所有情况下往往更容易表现出紧张情绪，在工作中更容易出现各种烦躁不安的情绪。分别计算了A型人格和B型人格人群工作满意度和工作压力评分与症状之间的相关性。发现A型人格人群存在显著相关性，而B型人格人群则不存在。在A型人格人群中，不满和压力与更频繁的症状抱怨有关。还分别计算了A型人格和B型人格人群健康习惯与症状之间的相关性。讨论了对未来研究的启示。
