Self-reported Type A behaviours of 41 top-level administrators of Probation/Parole/After-care services from a single government department were correlated with their wives' reported marital satisfaction, emotional well-being, and health-related behaviour. Contrary to the findings of a study in 1979 by Burke, Weir, and DuWors, few significant relationships were present. A comparison of the occupational demands of the jobs in the two studies indicated that the Probation/Parole/After-care job incumbents experienced less stress. In addition, wives in the present investigation were better educated.
