effects of the anger expression and hostility components of the type a personality behavior pattern : on physiological recovery from a psychosocial stressor / by mary-beth minthorn-biggs.
abstract
the present study re-examined the relationship of the type a
behavior pattern to heart rate and finger temperature recovery
from a psychosocial stressor. it also investigated the role of
anger expression, hostility and rehearsal as predictors of
delayed heart rate and finger temperature recovery. 30 male
and 29 female 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛
were given questions of multiplication,
division, addition, subtraction, with a few geography and general
knowledge questions also included. heart rate and finger
temperature were measured before, during, and after the stressor
presentation. results showed that heart rate recovery was
significantly slower for those individuals who scored high on
angerin and rehearsal scales. no heart differences in recovery
were found between type a and type b individuals. evidence was
presented that the rehearsal scale has an anger component which
may be responsible for its relationship to slower heart rate
recovery. in contrast to the rapid recovery of heart rate,
finger temperature did not recover over the 10 minute recovery
period. there were no significant correlations between finger
temperature recovery and personality.
