title: Type A behaviour and the experience of affective discomfort.
abstract: Early views of the Type A behaviour pattern (TABP) sought to disengage it from either neuroticism or emotional distress. Recent evidence challenging these views has, however, recommended a reevaluation of the area. Data arising from the present study indicate the TABP to be statistically related to measures of both neuroticism and emotional distress, though whether this association extends to a conceptional similarity, particularly with the former, is a matter for further discussion.
