Abstract: | A multiple-baseline across subjects design was used to evaluate the effects of operant self-control procedure on altering speed/impatient behaviors of the Type A behavior pattern (TABP). The operant-self-control procedure consisted of self-monitoring, self-evaluation, and self-reinforcement. The results demonstrated empirically significant decreases in S/I behaviors of the TABP following transfer to the self-reinforcement condition. Significant reductions in the Jenkins Activity Survey and physical symptoms scores additionally evidenced the effects of the operant self-control procedure. The possibility of pathogenic factors of the TABP varying with culture, and the advantages of the operant self-control procedure are discussed. |
