Previous research indicates that an individual's style of coping with stress and the nature of stressful events combine to mediate responses to stress. The present study investigated the responses of Type A and Type B high school students to controllable and uncontrollable stressful life events. Specifically, the associations between life stress and gradepoint average, extracurricular activity, sports involvement, days absent, and delinquent behavior were examined. The results revealed a negative relationship between life stress and school-related performance that was more pronounced for Type B than for Type A adolescents. These findings are discussed in terms of different coping mechanisms used by Type A's and B's when encountering environmental stress.
先前的研究表明，个体应对压力的方式与压力事件的性质共同作用，调节对压力的反应。本研究调查了A型和B型高中生对可控和不可控压力生活事件的反应。具体而言，研究了生活压力与平均绩点、课外活动、体育参与、缺勤天数和不良行为之间的关联。结果显示，生活压力与学业成绩之间存在负相关，这种关系在B型青少年中比在A型青少年中更为明显。将根据A型和B型在遇到环境压力时使用的不同应对机制来讨论这些发现。
