The relations of personality and cognitive styles on job and class performance
Article Abstract:
The relationship between Type A Behavior and job and class performance was studied. Samples were 104 male and 77 female students either in their junior year of college or in a part-time Master of Business Administration course. Results indicate that Type A behavior was positively related to school performance as indicated by previous research. Achievement striving was positively related to performance and the impatience/irritability factor did not relate to performance whatsoever. Students' beliefs and fears had some influence on Type A Behavior.

The effects of Type A behavior dimensions and optimism on coping strategy, health, and performance
Article Abstract:
A study examining the relationship between Type A behavior and optimism was conducted on 192 junior level management undergraduates. Results indicate that anger/hostility is positively related to anxiety and optimism is significantly negatively related to anxiety. There was a nonsignificant relation between irritability and health symptoms. The pattern between optimism and achievement striving was validated in that optimism moderates achievement striving and reduces stress from anxiety.

Beliefs and fears and Type A behavior: implications for academic performance and psychiatric health disorder symptoms
Article Abstract:
An analysis of the four common measures of Type A behavior showed nine dimensions reflecting the different aspects of the Type A behavior pattern. It is shown that the four measures are nonequivalent and lack convergent validity, verifying previous studies which found no single measure of Type A behavior. It is also observed that the nine dimensions have different effects on academic performance and psychiatric disorder symptoms.
