Type A Behavior in Preschool Children.
Vega-Lahr, Nitza; Field, Tiffany M.
Child Development, v57 n6 p1333-48 Dec 1986
Type A behaviors were observed in a group of 48 preschool children in different free-play and competitive situations. Results are consistent with other findings on type A behavior in preschool children and suggest that the behavioral dimensions of type A (competitiveness and impatience-aggression) may emerge as early as the preschool years, particularly in competitive situations.
