| Abstract: | A systematic review of the task-related differences in physiological arousal between Type A and Type B persons revealed that the differences are less consistent and of a smaller magnitude than what is usually assumed. Specifically, only 6 of the 24 experiments dealing with heart rate revealed reliable differences: only 4 of the 18 experiments dealing with diastolic blood pressure revealed realiable differences; and only 13 of the 20 experiments dealing with systolic blood pressure revealed reliable differences. Furthermore, the median difference in systolic blood pressure between Type A and Type B persons who were working on tasks is only 6 mm Hg. This summary probably constitutes a “liberal” estimate of the consistency and magnitude of the differences because it is based only on published investigations and because many investigations involved numerous comparisons. Hypotheses for the patterning of results were discussed. Conclusions based on this summary have a variety of implications for interpreting the research concerning personality type and coronary heart disease. |
