ABSTRACT

The present paper evaluated Friedman’s and Rosenman’s Type A and Type B personality theory. According to the authors, Type A personality has been linked to coronary heart disease and other heart problems. After discussing the basic concepts of the theory, it was important to analyze different research papers that utilized the theory in different domains. Then the discussion moved forward to new personality types that have been discovered throughout the years (Types C, D, T). Then a summary of the criticism that the theory has received is included. Finally, future research ideas and limitations of the theory were included.
