A transactional approach to Type A behavior was examined using a computer-editing task. 39 men and 47 women were assigned to treatment conditions involving either a fast, inconsistent, or slow computer-system response time. High scores on Type A and Competitiveness measures of the Jenkins Activity Survey were associated with users' briefer response times during fast and slow conditions. High scores on Competitiveness were associated with increased (post- minus pretask) state-anxiety scores during the fast condition and with decreased state-anxiety scores during the slow condition. Type A behavior scores were uncorrelated to subjects' response times or emotional reactivity during the inconsistent condition. Implications of situational predictability and control for Type A behavior pattern were discussed.
采用计算机编辑任务对A型行为的交易方法进行了研究。39名男性和47名女性被分配到涉及快速、不一致或缓慢计算机系统响应时间的治疗条件中。詹金斯活动调查中A型和竞争力测量的高分与快速和缓慢条件下用户更短的响应时间相关。竞争力的高分与快速条件下（任务后减去任务前）状态焦虑得分的增加以及缓慢条件下状态焦虑得分的降低相关。在不一致条件下，A型行为得分与受试者的响应时间或情绪反应性无关。讨论了情境可预测性和控制对A型行为模式的影响。
