Detailed explanation-1: -Friedman and Rosenman (1976) labeled this behavior Type A personality. They subsequently conduced research to show that people with type A personality run a higher risk of heart disease and high blood pressure than type Bs.
Detailed explanation-2: -After a nine-year study of over 3, 000 healthy men aged 35-59, Friedman and Rosenman speculated that certain patterns of behaviour carried a higher risk, and devised a method for categorising patients as either type A, type B or type AB (for those who defied easy categorisation).
Detailed explanation-3: -Two cardiologists, Meyer Friedman and Ray Rosenman, had made the case that a certain type of person-competitive, driven, hurried, easily angered-had a much higher risk of heart attack and heart disease than did easy-going types, which they labeled Type B.
Detailed explanation-4: -The type A behavior pattern was originally described by cardiologists Friedman and Rosenman in the 1950s as a behavior pattern characterized by agitation, hostility, rapid speech, and an extremely competitive nature.
