dc.description.abstractThe prevalence of Type A behaviour pattern and its relationship to specific lifestyle factors were investigated in 180 male university administrators aged 25 to 65. One hundred and twenty respondents were Afrikaans speaking; 60 were English speaking. All respondents were volunteers and were recruited from 16 different universities in South Africa. Information on lifestyles were obtained by questionnaires. Type A behaviour pattern was assessed using the Jenkins Activity survey. The Afrikaans group obtained significantly higher Type A scores than the English group. Factors involved were not clear. Other factors which were significantly related to Type A and/or other JAS scores were the number of people individuals were responsible for at work; the organizational rank and managerial achievement quotient of respondents; the number of promotions and the number of times respondents changed their line of work; the educational level of respondents; their Alcohol Consumption Index; feelings of loneliness; the number of hours they worked per week; their experience of subjective distress; whether they had a wife who worked outside the home or not; marital status of respondents, and their smoking behaviour. Results imply significant differences between culturally different groups leading different lifestyles but doing the same kind of work. Limitations of the study are looked at, and recommendations made for further research.en_ZA
