WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Type A Behavior Assessment for Schoolchildren Test

type a behavior

Behavioral patterns associated with time urgency and competitiveness have been examined in relation to stress and health outcomes. The Type A Behavior Assessment for Schoolchildren is a brief self-report measure intended to screen for Type A–like behavior patterns in school-age youth (attributed to Meyer Friedman and Ray H. Rosenman).

The instrument consists of 59 items and typically takes about 11 minutes to complete. Items ask respondents to endorse common school and everyday situations to estimate the degree of time pressure, achievement striving, impatience, and related irritability.

Results from the Type A Behavior Assessment for Schoolchildren are generally used as a screening indicator to support clinical or school-based discussions of stress-related behavior and to inform follow-up assessment or preventive interventions when elevated patterns are identified.
