The Work Addiction Risk Test was administered, with a measure of anxiety and two measures of Type A behavior, to 363 undergraduates at a major southern institution to test for concurrent validity. Correlations of scores on the Work Addiction Risk Test with other scores support the scale as a valid measure of workaholism.

Coronary Prone Behavior

A correlational and factor analytic study of data from 233 undergraduate university students was designed to test the hypothesis that there are differences between Type A and Type B individuals in their predisposition to be self-aware. Both measures of Type A behavior did not correlate with measures of self-consciousness but did show small, statistically significant relationships with a measure of self-monitoring. This finding is discussed in the light of experimental data reported in the literature. A significant but small correlation found between the two measures of Type A behavior is discussed with reference to the use of short scales for Type A behavioral assessment.

Diagnostische Probleme

ZusammenfassungDer vorliegende Artikel gibt einen Überblick über die aktuellen Erkenntnisse zur Arbeitssucht. Neben einer kurzen Eingrenzung des Störungsbildes bzw. der Symptomatik an sich werden diagnostische Probleme und Grenzen diskutiert. Ebenfalls werden zwei Verfahren zur Erfassung von Arbeitssucht vorgestellt: der Work Addiction Risk Test von Robinson und die Skala für Arbeitssucht von Schneider. Außerdem werden Maßnahmen zur Bewältigung von Arbeitssucht aufgezeigt, die sich auf einer individuellen, einer Arbeitgeber- und einer gesamtpolitischen Ebene einordnen lassen.
