The One

This study investigates the differences between males and females on the one hand, and between Egyptian and Kuwaiti teachers on the other. It also aims to examine the correlation between Type A behavior and job satisfaction. The sample consists of 406 teachers (109 females and 279 males; 253 Kuwaiti, 153 Egyptian). Tools used in this study are: Scales of Type Abehavior (Abdel-Khalek & Chukry, 1991), and job satisfaction (Cooper, Sloan, & Williams, 1998). Results reveal that there are no significant differences between males and females in Type A behavior, however there are significant differences between males and females in job satisfaction, organization structure, and satisfaction of organizational process. Results also reveal a significant difference between Kuwaiti and Egyptian teachers in the research variables. In addition to the above, results indicate significant positive correlations between Type A behavior and job satisfaction.

Satisfaction Analysis

The present study examined job stress and job satisfaction and their relation to measures of neuroticism, Type A behavior, and I–E locus of control as well as sex differences among Kuwaiti men ( n = 189) and women ( n = 210) employees. Women had significantly higher means on scales of job stress, neuroticism, and external locus of control, while men scored significantly higher on job satisfaction. Analysis yielded significant and positive correlations of job stress with neuroticism and locus of control of both men and women. Job satisfaction scores correlated significantly but negatively with external locus of control for both sexes, while job satisfaction had a positive correlation with Type A behavior for women only. The significant correlation between job stress and job satisfaction was negative.

Relationship Of

This study examined the relationship of Type A behavior, measured by the Jenkins Activity Survey, to interpersonal behavior orientations and coping styles. Respondents were 67 male and 37 female students in a graduate program in Business Administration. Type A behavior was consistently related to needs to control, to not be controlled, to express affection, and to want affection but not to coping styles. Separate analyses for males and females showed these findings hold for females but not males. Future research on Type A behavior must consider males and females separately.

SummaryThe authors made a field-survey of mental morbidity in all the tribal and caste groups residing in a cluster of villages in West Bengal, India, and found that, in each group, higher socio-economic classes had higher rates of mental morbidity. Different groups having a similar cultural pattern showed no significant difference in their rates of morbidity. Groups having different cultural patterns differed significantly in their rates of morbidity. In the tribal groups some neurotic disorders were absent.

Cultural Validation

The California Psychological Inventory (CPI) seeks to measure dispositions having universal status, of value in forecasting and conceptualizing interpersonal behavior anywhere. Under this rationale, cross-cultural study is imperative. The Socialization scale of the inventory was administered in 8 languages in 10 countries, to totals of 21,772 non-delinquent and 5,052 delinquent males and females. Significant and appropriate differences were observed in all comparisons. Assuming base rates of 20% for females and 30% for males, the optimum cutting score for the delinquent vs non-delinquent dichotomy was 28; using this score, 78% of the males and 85% of the females were correctly classified. Dichotomous classification is therefore possible, but interpretation of scores should nonetheless pay attention to the full continuum of variation.

Using a mail questionnaire to assess Type A behavior, job satisfaction, and daily stress and tension among 250 black men and 233 black women public accountants, the prevalence of Type A behavior and its relationship with satisfaction and stress were highly consistent with those reported for other samples of white men and women.
