PersonalityFriedman and Rosenman(1959)conducted studies on the link between stress and heart disease.One of the outcomes was the discovery of Type A and Type B personalities.第5页Type APeople who are classified as having Type A personality have characteristics like:highly active,competitive,aggressive,hostile,impatient,fast talking and thinking.第6页Type AThey have a sense of time urgency,find it difficult to relax,and often become impatient and angry when they get delayed(or if they are going to be late)or are around other people whom they view as incompetent.It is assumed that Type A people tend to have more risk of heart disease than Type B people.第7页Type B People who are classified as having Type B personality are better at relaxing without feeling guilty and working without becoming anxious or agitated.Some of the other characteristics include being more relaxed about time(they dont get overly stressed about being late),and are not easily angered.第8页Type BYou probably know people who just seemed to be relaxed people who dont get angry often;these are the characteristics of a Type B.They are the opposite of Type A people.第9页TypeOType O Blood people are said to set the mood for a group and to take on the role of creating harmony among its members.Their image is one of taking it easy,of being peaceful and carefree.They are also thought to be big-hearted and benevolent,and they tend to spend money on others generously.第10页Type OO Types are generally loved by all.But,they also,surprisingly,have a stubborn and strong-willed side,as well,and tend to secretly have their own opinions on things.On the other hand,they have the flexible,adaptable side of readily accepting new things.They are easily influenced by other people or by what they see on TV.They seem to appear level-headed and trustworthy,but they often slip and make big blunders inadvertently.But that is also the point that makes O Types lovable.第11页Whichdoyougenerallybelongto,TypeAorTypeBpersonality?Whateffectdoesyourpersonalitybringabouttoyourlife?第12页What do you know about workaholism?第13页WorkaholismWorkaholism is a modern

needs another one to work towards.A workaholic is not able to stop and enjoy his accomplishments.第17页WorkaholicsWorkaholics believe that,by working longer hours and completing more projects,they will enhance their self-worth.Workaholics think about work constantly and,if unable to work,feel panicky or depressed.第18页Workaholics have high expectations of their work,and their single-minded focus on
