“…They found that (a) the more people desire to impress others, the lower they tend to report their perceived exertion (Boutcher, Fleischer-Curtian, & Gines, 1988); ( b) augmenters (i.e., people who exaggerate the importance of events in their life) report greater perceived exertion than do reducers (i.e., people who underestimate the importance of events in their life; Robertson, Gillespie, Hiatt, & Rose, 1977); (c) internal and external locus of control fails to determine perceived exertion (Kohl & Shea, 1988); (d) feminine sex-typed women report greater perceived exertion than do masculine or androgynous women (Hochstetler, Rejeski, & Best, 1985); (e) extraverts suppress painful stimuli and rate their perceived exertion lower than introverts (Morgan, 1973); and (f ) self-efficacy is negatively related to perceived exertion (McAuley & Courneya, 1992). A clear relationship between Type A / B personality and perceived exertion has not been established (De Meersman, 1988;Hardy, McMurray, & Roberts, 1989;Rejeski, Morley, & Miller, 1983).…”

“…Several investigators have concluded that exercise tolerance was overestimated in men and women exhibiting the Type A Behavior Pattern (TABP) [9,11,12,27] presumably because Type As were motivated to suppress ratings of exertion in order to perform at a maximal level [9]. Moreover it has been proposed that the TABP increases health risks during exercise [33] though a later study of 1260 patients at risk for coronary artery disease found that Type A and Type B patients who completed a diagnostic exercise test did not differ on exercise time, maximum heart rate, or the predictive validity of the test [34].…”

Recent publications have perpetuated a concern that the Type A Behavior Pattern (TABP) influences ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) during exercise testing. Previous studies of this topic used the Jenkins Activity Survey (JAS) which lacks validity for predicting the criterion Structured Interview (SI) for TABP and used exercise protocols that were unstandardized or yielded results that were uninterpretable for clinical exercise prescription. We used the SI to classify 44 normotensive men (18-35 y) according to TABP and compared their RPE during an incremental cycling test to peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak). Groups did not differ on maximal test performance or RPE at any stage of the test, even after adjusting RPE for small group variations in % VO2peak and ventilatory equivalent for oxygen, which are strong correlates of RPE during incremental exercise. The findings agree with our prior report [14] that no relationship existed between RPE and several self-report measures of TABP. We conclude that there is no empirical basis for the view that the Type A Behavior Pattern affects cycling performance or ratings of perceived exertion during standard exercise testing in young white men.

In a group of 70 adults of both sexes, we examined interrelations between the estimates of expression of a coronary-prone type (type A) of the personality (measured using the Jenkins questionnaire) and the parameters of event-related EEG potentials (ERPs). The latter potentials were recorded in the course of performance of two behavioral test tasks including motor components. Within the framework of the "A" task, the subject is had to maximally rapidly push the button after a signal with warning (with measurement of the latency of the sensorimotor reaction); under these conditions, we recorded the contingent negative variation (СNV) and Р300 potential. In the case of the "B" task, a definite time interval was to be measured and limited by two pressings of the button. In this task, the readiness potential (RP) was recorded in addition to the CNV and Р300. The С3 and С4 EEG leads (according to the 10-20 system) were used. Within the framework of the "A" task, subjects belonging to the coronary-prone type were characterized by the lowest amplitudes of the CNV and its separate components and also by greater amplitudes and relatively long latencies of the P300 wave. Persons of type B were distinguished by the highest CNV amplitudes in both hemispheres, while values of the Р300 amplitude in this group were usually medium. In the "B" task, representatives of type A demonstrated the lowest RP and Р300 amplitudes, especially clearly pronounced negative CNVs in the left hemisphere, and relatively long Р300 latencies; individuals belonging to type B showed the highest RP and CNV amplitudes in the right hemisphere and medium values of the P300 amplitude. The correlations found are probably due, to a considerable extent, to the fact that both characteristics of the behavioral types A and B and amplitude parameters of ERPs depend significantly on genetically determined neurochemical factors, namely specificities of organization and functioning of a few neurotransmitter (in particular, aminergic) and neurohumoral systems.
