Validation of a Measure of Type A Behavior Pattern in Children: Bogalusa Heart Study.
Wolf, Thomas M.; And Others
Child Development, v53 n1 p126-35 Feb 1982
A self-administered rating scale containing 24 items thought to reflect the major components of Type A behavior was developed to assess Type A behavior in children. The scale was judged to be reliable after tests were conducted among 160 public school fifth and sixth graders and yielded the following factors: "eagergy" (eagerness-energy), restlessness-aggression, leadership, and alienation.
