Abstract
A laboratory experiment was conducted to investigate self-control feat ures of the Type A behavior pattern. The results indicated that the Ty pe A subjects, high-on the speed/impatient factor, had more difficulty in waiting for the larger delayed reward than non-Type As and chose t he small reward available immediately. The results are discussed in te rms of a conceptualization of Type As' poor self-control skills. Copyr ight (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
