question 12

Essay

Describe hypothetical individuals displaying Type A,Type B,and Type D behavior patterns.Discuss the association of Type A and Type D behavior patterns with negative health consequences.
A.Keira is always in a hurry.She is impatient,hates waiting on line,and is always trying desperately to multitask so that she can get more done.She tends to be somewhat hostile and she gets angry easily.
Type
B.Tristan goes with the flow.He is more a team player than a lone shark.He is friendly,pleasant,and cooperative;he rarely gets stressed about anything.
Type
D.Dominic tends to be pessimistic.He is always worried and tied up in knots about one thing or another.He is insecure and anxious.
Men with the Type A pattern are twice as likely as Type B men to develop coronary heart disease,and they suffer more fatal heart attacks than do Type B men.The hostility component of the Type A pattern is mainly responsible for the link with heart diseases.Hostility appears to produce excessive arousal in stressful situations,increasing production of epinephrine and norepinephrine,which increases heart rate and blood pressure.
The Type D pattern,characterized by neuroticism,appears linked to the risk for repeated heart attacks.
