An examination of Type A behavior in children as measured by the MYTH and hyperactivity scores in children as measured by the Conners TRC revealed a significant relationship between the two scales. Subjects were drawn from a total sample of 199 first, second and third grade children obtained through classroom-distributed questionnaires. Significant differences on MYTH scores between children of Type A and Type B mothers, and between males and females were eliminated when variance attributed to hyperactivity was covaried out of the analyses. Results are discussed in terms of potential overlap between hyperactivity and Type A constructs as they are often measured.

We examined the correlations between scores on Bonner's scale and measures of aggression, distrustful, gregarious, and depression in 1,084 employees. Prospectively over 2 yr. we investigated the relationship of Type A behavior with cardiac mortality. Subjects classified as Type A had higher mean ratings on measures of aggression and distrustful than did persons classified as Type B. Mortality was lower in patients classified as reporting Type A behavior (12%) than in the patients classified as reporting Type B behavior (22%).

This investigation examined attributions for life events and Type A behavior of 22 undergraduate women. It was expected that Type A students would make attributions associated with learned helplessness for undesirable life events. As hypothesized, Type A students engaged in more self-blame for important undesirable life events and also rated their desirable life events as less important than Type B students. Differences in attributional strategies of the two groups might mediate the relationship between Type A, helplessness, and heart disease.

We examined the prevalence of Type A/B behavior and Emotion Profiles in 1084 employees. This report focused on the relationship between Type A behavior and eight basic emotion dimensions. Of the 1084 subjects 710 (65%) scored as Type A and 374 (34.5%) as Type B. The mean Bortner scores for all subjects were 182.8 ( SD = 33.7), scores on emotional dimensions for Incorporation and Reproduction were high, and intensities for Ejection and Destruction were low; mean scores on other emotions were normal. Significant differences between Type A and Type B scores were found on six emotional dimensions. Subjects classified as Type A had ratings lower on trustful, controlled, and timid and higher on aggressive, distrustful, and uncontrolled than did persons classified as Type B. There were no differences between Type A and Type B scores on the emotion dimensions of Reproduction and Deprivation. Our data suggest multiple emotional components may comprise the Type A behavior pattern. This is important for behavioral counseling programs and early preventive efforts which could be aimed at reducing the intensity of Type A behaviors.

This study considered the possible moderator effects of three cognitive variables—repression, awareness of defense, and breadth of scanning—upon the relationship between Type A behavior and stress. Type A college subjects of both sexes did not report significantly more stress than Type B students. However, (1) repression, (2) lack of awareness, and (3) narrow scanning served moderator roles for Type A subjects; each, considered singly or in combination, contributed to higher stress levels. These evasive cognitive qualities were not associated with higher stress in Type B subjects. The results, in combination with those from several previous studies, were interpreted within the context of a model relating coping strategies to management of stress in which evasive defensiveness that impedes direct action upon sources of stress is maladaptive.

The daily calcium intake of Type A (21 men, 49 women) and Type B (37 men, 95 women) college students was compared. No difference appeared between these groups, although men exhibited significantly higher daily milk and calcium consumption than women, contrary to earlier studies. The implications of this finding for further research were briefly discussed.

This study investigated the relationship between Type A behavior and job performance using three measures of Type A behavior (Milwaukee Scale, A-B Scale, and Type A Measure) and 14 job performance subscales obtained from each participant's record. A total of 103 Kuwaiti employees, 66 men and 37 women, participated voluntarily. Some job performance scales as well as the over-all performance scores were not significantly related to any of the measures of Type A behavior used. These scales were Initiative, Dealing with Others, General Appearance, Accuracy, Speed, Adherence to Rules, Relationship with Colleagues, Adherence to Attendance Time, and Over-all Performance. Following Supervisors' Orders is the only scale for which scores correlated .25, and .26, respectively ( p = .05) with two of the Type A measures. Inconsistency with previous findings may be attributed to treating Type A behavior as a global construct rather than separating out its components and to job-related factors that might moderate the possible relationship as well as the variations in the tests' reliabilities and lengths.

This research aims to determine the relationship between balanced and the ability to dribble, the relationship between eye-foot coordination and the ability to dribble, and the relationship between balanced and eye-foot coordination on the ability todribble in futsal game Karsa Utama Putri Wajo’s club. The research was correlational research, with the independent variable was balanced and eye-foot coordination, while the dependent variable was the ability to dribble. The population of theresearch was Karsa Utama Putri Wajo's club players and the sampling technique used was total sampling technique with the total sample was 25 players. The analysis technique used was descriptive analysis, correlation analysis, regression analysis. The results showed that 1)There was a significant relationship between balanced and the ability to dribble in Karsa Utama Putri Wajo's club players with a correlation value (r) = 0,738. 2) There was asignificant relationship between eye-foot coordination on the ability to dribble in Karsa Utama Putri Wajo's club players with a correlation value (r) = 0,553. 3) There was asignificant relationship between balanced and eye-foot coordination on the ability to dribble in Karsa Utama Putri Wajo's club player swith a correlation value (r)=0.823,and a coefficient of determination (R2) = 0.677 or equal to 67,7%. Thus, it can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between balanced and coordination of the ankle son the ability to dribble in futsal game of Karsa Utama Putri Wajo's club.

ABSTRACTThis study aims to determine the relationship between Strike Determination, Balance and Coordination of the Foot to the Accuracy of Kicking in a football game. This research is a descriptive study. The population of this study was all male students of SMA Negeri 9 Makassar with a total sample of 40 people selected by Purposive Sampling. The data analysis technique used is the correlation analysis technique using the SPSS application at a significant level of 95% or α0.05. Starting from the results of data analysis, this study concluded that: (1) there was a significant correlation with the accuracy of kicks in football games, proved to be R = 0.838 (P = 0.000 <α0.05); (2) there is a significant relationship between the balance and the accuracy of the kick in the game of football, as evidenced by R = 0.733 (P = 0.000 <α0.05); (3) there is a significant correlation between ankle coordination and kick accuracy in soccer, it is proven that R = 0.782 (P = 0.000 <α0.05; football game, proven R = 0.869 (P = 0,000 <α0.05). ABSTRAKPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan Kelentukan Togok, Keseimbangan dan Koordinasi Mata Kaki terhadap Ketepatan Tendangan pada permainan sepakbola. Penelitian ini termasuk jenis penelitian deskriptif.
