Scores on four individual difference instruments used in investigations of hypertension and coronary heart disease were compared. 112 college undergraduates completed a Thematic Apperception Test to assess power motivation, the student form of the Jenkins Activity Survey to assess Type A behavior pattern, a version of the Harburg Anger-out Scale, and a new instrument, the Anger Expression Scale. Analyses yielded modest but significant correlations among some of the scales. Students scoring higher on anger-out coping style, as indexed by the anger-out subscale of the Anger Expression Scale and the Harburg Anger-out Scale, had higher scores on power motivation, global Type A, and the Speed and Impatience subscale of the Jenkins Activity Survey. Neither power motivation nor inhibited power motivation was significantly associated with Type A behavior pattern. Implications of the results are discussed within the context of recent findings in personality assessment and health psychology.

The Jenkins Activity Survey Form C. was administered to a stratified sample of workers (1000 men and 465 women) to study the distribution of the Type A Behavior Pattern among Italians. General Type A scores were higher in married vs unmarried men and Job Involvement scores were higher for single persons than for married ones. Results suggest a stronger link between job involvement and marital status than between job involvement and Type A behavior.

21 men and 76 women between the ages of 68.0 and 97.0 yr. of age were administered the Geriatric Scale of Recent Life Events, the Jenkins Activity Survey, the Framingham Type A Scale, and the Memorial University of Newfoundland Happiness Scale. A Type A pattern of behavior was noted for this sample, aspects of well-being were observed differentially by sex, and Type A behavior was predictive of illness for this age group.
