This paper reports on two studies of how Type A and B subjects perceive themselves. Both studies investigated differences in self-ratings of personality by Type As and Bs, and differences in the recall of positive and negative personality information. As predicted, a modest significant positive correlation was found in both studies between Type A scores and number of positive traits remembered, suggesting that Type A behaviours are associated with a tendency to process information about the self in such a way as to bolster self-esteem. Self-ratings of positive and negative personality traits showed that Type As tended to rate themselves much more negatively than Type Bs. This provides support for a self-evaluative model of Type A behaviour. The results are discussed in terms of the paradoxical nature of the Type A behaviour pattern.
本文报告了两项关于A型和B型受试者如何看待自己的研究。两项研究均调查了A型和B型人格的自我评分差异，以及对积极和消极人格信息的回忆差异。正如所预测的，两项研究均发现A型得分与所记住的积极特质数量之间存在适度显著的正相关，这表明A型行为与以增强自尊的方式处理自我信息的倾向相关。对积极和消极人格特质的自我评分显示，A型人倾向于比B型人更消极地评价自己。这为A型行为的自我评估模型提供了支持。根据A型行为模式的矛盾性质对结果进行了讨论。
