Riassunto

Fundamental and challenging questions about the origin and sustenance of Type A behaviour - such as whether environmental or genetic factors play a role in its development, and whether Type A parents raise Type A children - are explored in this volume. Leading scholars also present current research on such topics as whether gender affects the development of Type A behaviour, and methods of developing and evaluating programmes aimed at altering such behaviour.
