Recent evidence suggests that the student version of the Jenkins Activity Survey, a major measure of the Type A behavior pattern, is composed of heterogeneous items and, as a consequence, attenuates correlations with measures of psychological traits. The present study used two homogeneous subscales from the JAS to establish the relationship between two aspects of positive mental health (self-actualization and self-esteem) and components of the Type A syndrome (N = 68). As expected, self-actualization and self-esteem are related to only one aspect of the Type A behavior pattern. This result is obscured when only total JAS scale scores are used. Implications for future Type A behavior research and for improving the JAS subscales are discussed.
最近的证据表明，詹金斯活动量表的学生版（一种对A型行为模式的主要测量工具）由异质项目组成，因此会削弱与心理特质测量指标的相关性。本研究使用了该量表中的两个同质分量表，以确定积极心理健康的两个方面（自我实现和自尊）与A型综合征各组成部分之间的关系（N = 68）。正如预期的那样，自我实现和自尊仅与A型行为模式的一个方面相关。当仅使用詹金斯活动量表的总分时，这一结果就会被掩盖。本文讨论了该结果对未来A型行为研究以及改进詹金斯活动量表分量表的启示。
