This study examined the relationship between Type A behavior and family health history to psychological distress in the face of daily life stress. Measures of stress, Type A behavior, family health history, and psychological distress were collected for 196 employees over 4 mo. Analyses of co-variance showed that Type A individuals experienced significantly more psychological distress than Type Bs. Family health history and stress did not directly affect psychological health status.

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.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health is an emerging problem globally. This study aimed to examine the mediating effect of chronic illnesses in the relationship between psychological health and the acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine, prior to the national vaccine rollout in Malaysia. An online cross-sectional study was conducted in Malaysia between December 10, 2020, and February 9, 2021. In addition to the descriptive analyses, a mediation analysis was performed to examine the mediating effect of chronic illnesses in the relationship between psychological distress and the willingness to accept the vaccine. A total of 1738 participants completed the survey. The psychological distress levels were found to be significantly different across demographic factors such as age, gender, and social economic status. This study demonstrated a partial mediating effect of chronic illnesses in the relationship between psychological distress and vaccine acceptance.
