  • Title: The Framingham Type A Scale and anxiety, irrational beliefs, and self-control.
    Author: Smith TW, Houston BK, Zurawski RM.
    Journal: J Human Stress; 1983 Jun; 9(2):32-7. PubMed ID: 6631006.
    Abstract:
    The present study examined the relations between the Framingham Type A Scale and measures of trait anxiety, irrational beliefs, and self-control in a sample of healthy young adults. Furthermore, the obtained relationships were contrasted with those between two other self-report measures of the Type A pattern and the above psychological dimensions. Results indicated that the Framingham Scale consistently exhibited positive relations with anxiety and general irrational thinking and a negative relation with self-control. The Jenkins Activity Survey and Thurstone Activity Scale generally were unrelated to these dimensions. Results indicate the psychological heterogeneity of the Type A measures and suggest a possible link between Framingham scores, anxiety, and manifestations of CHD.
