TAQ 1:Theoretical frameworkType A personality have been found out to be ambitious, time conscious and driven, and studies have argued that if not properly managed can create stress related illness, (Wilhelm et al 2004). In contrast type B personality have been found to be relaxed, less time conscious and driven person, (Landdolt et al, 2012. Based on Friedman and Rosenman, personality types often describe competitive, ambitious, aggressive ad relaxed personalities which are linked to type B type. Theories have focussed on specific relationship between the demands of stressors and bodily process. Type A personalityType A personality has often been attributed to risk factor of heart disease. Research by Friedman and Rosenman found out that behaviour associated with Type A personality is often attributed to increased occurrences of Coronary heart diseases. Attributed behaviour patterns include being outgoing, ambitious, rigid organization, proactive and essential in time management. Type A personalities are often attributed to high achieving category and often push themselves to deadlines and often hate delays and ambivalence behaviours. Often type A people exhibit dangerous behaviour in that they are free floating and hostile, time urgency and often are competitively driven which causes stress and achieve mental drive, (Friedman & Roseman, 1959).Type BThe Theory by Friedman and Rosenman, describes type B individuals in contrast to those of type A and B. These characteristic of people often work steadily and often enjoy achievement, and tend to openly disregard physical and mental stress when they don’t achieve. They often enjoy the game rather playing if even they lose. Type A people have been found to open be attracted to carriers and opportunity creativity. Many people especially those of the writing aspects, engineering, actress and managers tend to be more of type B personality. This is attributed to their personal character being able to explore ideas and concepts. This gives them an opportunity to be reflective and think of the outer world they are living.(Petticrew& Mckee, 2012).TAQ 2:Rationale for the research Significant studies have shown the characterization of action oriented tendencies linked to cardiovascular diseases among the middle aged and elderly adults, (Pollock et al 2017). Studies inthe organization sector has seen the need for incorporating organizational dynamic aspects in maintaining the changing environment,( Kumar 2016). Studies on friendship personality types, found out that personality type B is associated with lower stress levels, (Koraida et al 2017), however the coping mechanism of stress has not been largely been studied. Hence this study is looking at how individuals can cope with stress with regard to personality types.Objectives of research4
