A research on the type-A personality behaviour among the individuals of saveetha dental college. Aim: To analyse the type-A personality behaviour among the individuals of saveetha dental college. Objective: To assess the type-A personality behavioural among the individuals in saveetha dental college using Jenkins activity survey. Background: Type A and type B behaviours were first described by two cardiologists Friedman and Roseman who were studying heart disease. Briefly, type A is a behavioural and personality pattern characterised by the following 1) competitive achievement orientation, goal striving without a sense of accomplishment and joy. 2) time urgency, impatience, over scheduling, and 3) anger and hostility which may or may not expressed. In contrast, type B is non competitive, enjoys the process as much as the goal, is patient, and has little anger and hostility. Reason: The reason was to analyse the personalities of individuals and develop personality in positive manner.

Psychosocial Dimension

The current study investigated the possibility that certain psychosocial factors may actually have a direct impact on the basic muscular mechanics of the human at work. The psychosocial dimension chosen for this evaluation was personality type. The Jenkins Activity Survey was used to classify subjects as Type A (n=10) or Type B (n=10) individuals. Each subject participated in an EMG-based biomechanical study to investigate the coactivation patterns of the muscles that span the elbow joint. Subjects performed isometric, isokinetic (50 deg/sec) and isoacceleration (50 deg/sec/sec) elbow flexion exertions. Isometric exertions were performed at 20, 40, 60 and 80% of maximum isometric flexion torque. Dynamic exertions were performed at 20 and 40% of maximum isometric flexion torque. Results showed that Type A individuals experienced significantly higher antagonist muscle activity than Type B individuals. Biomechanical implications and possible relations to Type A characteristics are discussed.

Coronary Prone Behavior

2 major components of the Type A coronary-prone behavior pattern are said to be a chronic sense of time urgency and impatience. The present study was done to determine whether these characteristics are associated with the driving performance of Type A individuals. 38 women and 32 men completed the Jenkins Activity Survey and a questionnaire concerning their driving. Those subjects exhibiting more Type A behavior tended to be more impatient, reported being involved in more accidents, and received more tickets for driving violations than those scoring lower on the Type A scale.

Personality can affect individual’s response that implicate in duration of labor. Previous studies showed relationship between personality and duration of labor. People with extrovert personality type (type A) tend to be more susceptible to stress than introvert personality type (type B). This study aimed to determine correlation between extrovert personality type and prolonged second stage of labor by considering external variables such as maternal education, economy, age and parity. A case control study was conducted on 156 parturient women who fulfilled the inclusion criteria of study, such as in Yogyakarta in 2015. Case samples were 52 women with prolonged second stage of labor and control were 104 women with normal second stage of labor. Purposive sampling method was used. Personality type assessment used type A/B questionnaire of Jenkins Activity Survey. Data analysis used logistic regression. Results showed that 80.8% prolonged second stage of labor occurred in type A mothers and 19.2% in type B mothers. Extrovert personality type had a significant correlation with prolonged second stage of labor (p value = 0.00). Type A mothers have a risk 8.2 times (95% CI: 3.7-18.4) of prolonged second stage of labor than type B mothers after be controlled with economic status, parity, maternal education and age.AbstrakKepribadian dapat memengaruhi respons individu yang dapat berdampak pada proses persalinan lama. Penelitian sebelumnya menunjukkan adanya hubungan kepribadian dengan waktu persalinan. Tipe kepribadian ekstrover (tipe A) cenderung lebih rentan terhadap stres dibandingkan orang dengan tipe kepribadian introvert (tipe B). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan tipe kepribadian ekstrover dan variabel luar (pendidikan, ekonomi, usia ibu dan paritas) dengan persalinan kala II lama. Studi kasus kontrol dilakukan pada 156 ibu bersalin yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi pada tahun 2015 di Yogyakarta. Sampel kasus adalah 52 ibu dengan persalinan kala II lama dan kontrol adalah 104 ibu dengan persalinan kala II normal. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode purposive sampling. Tipe kepribadian dinilai menggunakan kuesioner tipe A/B Jenkins Activity Survey. Analisis data menggunakan regresi logistik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan 80,8% kala II persalinan lama terjadi pada ibu dengan kepribadian tipe Adan 19,2% pada ibu dengan kepribadian tipe B. Tipe kepribadian ekstrover memiliki hubungan signifikan terhadap kala II persalinan lama (nilai p = 0,00). Ibu dengan kepribadian tipe A berisiko 8.2 kali (95% CI: 3,7-18,4) mengalami persalinan kala II lama dibandingkan ibu dengan kepribadian tipe B setelah dikontrol variabel status ekonomi, paritas, pendidikan dan usia ibu.

Activity Survey

It was hypothesized that type A behavior in pregnant women would be associated with increased neonatal crying and differential reports of infant temperament at 3 months. Type A behaviors during pregnancy were measured in a self-selected cohort of 72 healthy, primiparous, middle-class women. Their newborns were assessed at 48 hours of age and the women completed an infant temperament questionnaire at 3 months. Women who were classified as type A on the Job Involvement scale of the Jenkins Activity Survey had infants who cried more during a standardized neurobehavioral assessment compared with infants of women who were type B on the same scale. Women who were type A for Job Involvement rated their 3-month-old infants as more intense and less predictable in their responses to the environment. They were also more likely to be breast-feeding their infants at 3 months. This is the first study to examine the prevalence and nature of maternal type A behaviors during pregnancy and to show their relationship to neonatal crying behavior, to maternal report of early infant temperament, and to maternal breast-feeding.

The Relationship

To measure the relationship between Type A-B behavior and Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS), 88 women volunteers responded to the Glass version of the Jenkins Activity Survey and the PMS Symptoms Checklist. Consistent with the hypothesis, Type A women reported that they experienced about 50% more symptoms of PMS than the Type B women.

Posttraumatic Nightmares

To consider the relationships among Type A-B behavior, gender, and specific types of nightmares, 780 university undergraduates were tested with Glass' version of the Jenkins Activity Survey and the Spadafora and Hunt Dream Types Survey which included the critical nightmares (fantastic nightmares, posttraumatic nightmares, and night terrors). Relative to students classified as Type B, those classified as Type A were significantly more likely to report experiencing certain types of nightmares, i.e., fantastic and posttraumatic nightmares. We also observed that women reported significantly greater frequencies of all types of nightmares than men. Possible reasons for these differences were discussed.

Activity Survey

Two experiments were conducted to study perceptions of control for recalled situations among Jenkins Activity Survey-defined Type A and Type B college students. The subjects recalled past situations of competition and time pressure and then provided ratings of vividness and perceived control for self and others. The results indicated that Type A subjects had more vivid recollections of both competition and time pressure situations than did Type B persons. On the other hand, Type A scorers made higher ratings of perceived control-for-self than Type B scorers for recalled competitive but not for time pressure situations. Other results indicated that the speed and impatience scores on Jenkins' scale were negatively correlated to perceptions of control in the recalled time pressure situations. These results, together with recent findings which show that Type A persons perceive less control in recalled angry situations indicate that A/B differences in perceived control are situationally specific. The possible role of differences in social comparisons in mediating these interactional effects is discussed.

Activity Survey

Although it has become popular to classify people as Type A or Type B, particularly with reference to their risk for cardiovascular disease, we questioned the accuracy of the layman's evaluation of himself. 56 adults were asked their concepts of their behavior type, and results were compared to their scores on the Jenkins Activity Survey. There was general agreement in the typing and on the other Jenkins subscales. But many who on the Jenkins scale scored Type A felt they were Type B, and some of these scored low on the other three component scales; and many Type B persons called themselves Type A, and some scored high on the other subscales.
