title: The Type A-B behavior pattern in urban and rural men and women.
abstract: This study examined the prevalence of the Type A behavior pattern with Bortner's scale in a rural (n = 104) and urban (n = 200) sample of men and women in Slavonia, Croatia. The mean score on the Bortner scale for the rural sample was significantly lower than the mean for the urban sample. The results support the view that rural lifestyle suppresses manifestation of Type A characteristics.
