Abstract
This study examined the relation of Type A behavior to measures of occupational and life stress, satisfaction and well-being. Both main and moderating effects of Type A were investigated. Data were obtained from 828 police officers using questionnaires completed anonymously. Type A was significantly related to measures of personal well-being but only weakly to work and life demands. No support was found for hypothesized moderating effects of Type A on the stressor-strain relationship.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
