Forty-eight subjects, approximately half of whom were male and half female, took part in an experiment designed to measure coping-strategy choice and heart-rate reactivity in the face of an electric shock threat. All subjects completed, in addition, the Framingham Type A scale and other Framingham psychosocial scales measuring anger expression and emotional lability. Among female subjects, Type A was ex hypothesi associated with choice of a vigilant, predictability-seeking coping style. Type A was also ex hypothesi associated with greater heart-rate reactivity. Among males, the Type A scale did not predict either coping-strategy choice or heart-rate reactivity. Vigilant coping was associated with suppressed anger in both sexes. Results are discussed with reference to a wider body of research on Type A behavior pattern and coronary heart disease.
48名受试者参与了一项实验，其中约一半为男性，一半为女性，该实验旨在测量面对电击威胁时的应对策略选择和心率反应。此外，所有受试者都完成了弗雷明汉A型量表以及其他测量愤怒表达和情绪易激惹性的弗雷明汉心理社会量表。在女性受试者中，根据假设，A型与选择警惕的、寻求可预测性的应对方式相关。根据假设，A型也与更高的心率反应相关。在男性中，A型量表既不能预测应对策略的选择，也不能预测心率反应。警惕性应对在两性中都与愤怒抑制相关。本文将结合关于A型行为模式和冠心病的更广泛研究来讨论研究结果。
