Abstract
This study represented an attempt to examine any relationships between type A and B behavior patterns and fantasy predisposition levels in young children. Subjects were 17 female and 16 male, 4-5 year olds, enrolled in day care facilities located in the suburban area of a large midwestern city. Subjects were predominantly Caucasian and from the lower-middle and middle socioeconomic classes. The MYTH checklists, measuring type A and B behavior patterns, were completed by the children's teachers. The IPP interviews, measuring fantasy predisposition levels, were completed on a one-to-one basis by the researcher. Results indicated significant inverse relationships for the entire sample, females only, and males only. Thus, type A behavior patterns were related to low fantasy predisposition levels and type B behavior patterns were related to high fantasy predisposition levels.
