Abstract

The correlations among the fourteen items of the Bortner Scale are proved not to be very strong. In this case the method of flat summing of all the variables(Johnston and Schaper 1983) can be little valid because each variable has a statistically different weight. The Bortner Scale through the factor analysis of the German data has shown a diverse factor structure of Type A behavior that contains five sub-factors such as ´speed and urgency´, ´introversion´, ´little listening to others´, ´competitiveness and ambition´ and ´mobilization´. And what is more, the Bortner Revised Scale through another factor analysis of the Korean data has revealed more complicated factor structure which is composed of eighteen sub-factors. In addition, only two of the German five sub-factors such as ´speed and urgency´ and ´mobilization´ are associated with cardiovascular disease. The association is stronger in infarction than in angina pectoris.
