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.

The present study examined the relationships among self-report scores for Type A behavior, social support, and stress, and those for physical and psychological well-being among 152 Japanese female college students. Significant interactions were found between scores for Type A behavior and social support, indicating that individuals who report higher Type A behavior as well as higher social support tended to rate their physical and psychological well-being higher than those who reported higher Type A behavior but lower social support.

The aim of this research was to investigate how the Big Five and Type A personality variables relate to psychological well-being. Additionally, the study examined the effect of age on psychological well-being. Various social media sites such as Facebook were used to recruit 286 Participants (209 males, 74 females) from the community population. The sample was broad with an age range 18-85. Participants completed a demographic measure as well as the Ryff’s Psychological Well-being scale, the International Personality Item Pool- Big Five Scale, the Framingham Type A Behavior Scale and a Social Desirability Scale. Pearson’s product correlations and a hierarchical multiple regression were performed to determine the ability of the personality variables and Type A personality scores to predict psychological well-being. The results indicated that the personality variables (the Big Five) predicted psychological well-being but that the addition of variance from the Type A personality variable added insignificantly to the prediction. Psychological well-being was negatively correlated with age. Further studies on personality and psychological wellbeing are needed, including the role of mindfulness in contributing along with personality variables to psychological well-being.

The literature has highlighted the presence of a higher proportion of Type A behavior among police officerscompared to the general population. Thus, the present study examined the predictive role of two components ofType A behavior (impatience and drive) on stress reactions and the moderator effect of these dimensions in therelation stressors-reactions to stress in police work. To assess the variables included in this study it was usedscales from Occupational Stress Indicator-2 (OSI-2; Cooper, Sloan, & Williams, 1988). These scales were completedby 108 policemen. The results showed that impatience is the only predictor of some aspects of physical(tempered behavior, energy) and mental health (satisfaction, peace of mind). The data show that impatience anddrive do not moderate the relationship between stressors and reactions to stress represented by work satisfaction,satisfaction toward organization, satisfaction with mental well-being, peace of mind, tempered behavior and energy.The impatience has moderated the tension generated by the workload and responsibilities on activism. Thedrive has moderated the relation between workload and activism. Based on these results, it has been discussedthe validity of the conceptual model of the OSI-2 and the development of occupational stress management interventionsin police work.
