Laura's behavior is described by a type A behavior pattern.
Type A behavior patterns are characterized by the following characteristics: intense striving for achievement, competition, easily provoked impatience, time urgency, the abruptness of gesture and speech (explosive voice), hyper-alert posture, over-commitment to vocation or profession, excesses of drive, and hostility.
Friedman and Rosenman (11) first described this behavior pattern in the United States at the end of the 1950s. Friedman defines type A as a "action-emotion complex" exhibited by individuals who are engaged in a chronic incessant struggle to achieve more and more in less and less time, giving rise to a sense of time-urgency, and who typically, but not always, exhibit a free-floating but well-rationalized hostility.
