Type A Behavior in Preschool Children: Construct Validation Evidence for the MYTH.

Corrigan, Sheila A.; Moskowitz, Debbie S.

Child Development, v54 n6 p1513-21 Dec 1983

Findings indicate Type A behavior was related in preschoolers to ratings of aggression and impatience, but not to intelligence. Reaction times of Type B children who worked without a time limit and an incentive were significantly longer than those of Type A children and those of Type B children who worked with a time limit and an incentive.
