Type A personality hostility time urgency and unintentional injuries among Chinese undergraduates: a matched case–control study

摘要

BackgroundAssociations between type A behaviour pattern (TABP) and injuries are inconsistent. These inconsistencies may be due to different effects of various components of TABP, namely time urgency/impatience, hostility and competitive drive. It is important to examine the relationship between the global TABP, its two components, and unintentional injuries, among undergraduates in China.
