Abstract
Self-ratings versus teacher-ratings of adolescents' Type A Behavior Pa ttern were compared with 80 eighth-grade and 70 eleventh-grade teenage rs from a typical high school in Melbourne, Australia. Data indicated that there were significant differences in the ratings from these two sources, with little predictive power from teachers' ratings to adoles cents' ratings. Implications for the reliable and comprehensive assess ment of adolescents' Type A Behavior Pattern are discussed.
