Traditionally the Type A Behavior Pattern construct (TABP) has been considered as a risk factor for coronary diseases. In spite of the large number of studies which have demonstrated its effectiveness, in recent years contradictory data as to its proper predictive capacity have appeared. It is currently considered that the TABP components must exert a different sort of influence, as risk factors, in coronary diseases. Diverse studies have related the TABP with other psychological variables; for example, attributive style, extroversion-introversion, type of situation, self-perfectionism, etc. In the present descriptive transversal study, the TABP was evaluated with Fear of Negative Evaluation (FNE). A sample of 152 healthy subjects (76 men and 76 women) was used. The results indicate that the TABP is not entirely related to FNE. However, analyses by components do show significant relationships, and differences are found between men and women, as well. In male subjects, we find negative relationships between FNE and the competitiveness variable, and positive relationships between FNE and the variables for excessive workload, impatience and hostility. In female subjects, there are positive relationships between FNE and impatience and hostility.
