A sample of 44 male Type A insurance representatives, selected by means of the Videotaped Structured Interview, were randomly assigned to a treatment (n = 22) and a delayed treatment control group (n = 22). The treatment group participated in 9 weekly sessions of group Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy and were followed up after 10 weeks. After the control period, the delayed treatment control group received the same treatment program. Repeated measurements were obtained by means of the Videotaped Structured Interview, Jenkins Activity Survey, Cook-Medley Hostility Scale, and Type A Cognitive Questionnaire. Self and spouse/friend ratings of Type A behavior were obtained by means of the Bortner Rating Scale. Analysis indicated that, compared to the control condition, the therapy significantly reduced the intensity of Type A behavior and its time urgency component. These improvements were maintained at follow-up and were accompanied by self-reports of significant positive changes in Type A behavior and irrational beliefs.
通过录像结构化访谈选取了44名A型男性保险代表样本，随机分为治疗组（n = 22）和延迟治疗对照组（n = 22）。治疗组参加了为期9周的团体理性情绪行为治疗课程，并在10周后进行随访。在对照期结束后，延迟治疗对照组接受相同的治疗方案。通过录像结构化访谈、詹金斯活动调查、库克-梅德利敌意量表和A型认知问卷进行重复测量。通过博特纳评定量表获得A型行为的自我评定以及配偶/朋友评定。分析表明，与对照条件相比，该疗法显著降低了A型行为的强度及其时间紧迫感成分。这些改善在随访中得以维持，同时伴有A型行为和非理性信念显著积极变化的自我报告。
