Most of studies in the area of Type-A behaviour have been focussed on
male professionals. Today, when gap between men and women is shrinking,
as women of these days want to live life as they like and to come at par
with the male-folk, divorce rates are increasing and women greatly outnumber
men on depression rates, such study on female professionals becomes
imperative. Present investigation is an attempt in this direction, and aimed
at studying the relationship of Type-A behaviour pattern with physical and
mental health of working women belonging to four groups viz., Govt.
Officers, Govt. Doctors, Bank Officers and University teachers. 400 working
women 100 from each group under study from Rajasthan were investigated
using Jenkins Activity Survey Form C, Physical Health Spectrum by Belloc
et. al., Mental Health Inventory by Jagdish and Shrivastava and Indian
Adaptation of NSQ by Kapoor and Kapoor. Based on the findings, it can
be concluded that type-A behaviour pattern amongst working women tend
to have adverse impact on their physical as well as mental health, specially
under conditions of intense pressure and stress, which seem to be more for
doctors.
