Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The toxic component in the Type A behavior pattern is hostility. Research has consistently shown that individuals who exhibit high levels of hostility, characterized by aggressive interactions with others, are at a higher risk for developing cardiovascular disease. Control motivation, time urgency, and achievement striving are all components of Type A behavior, but they are not identified as the primary toxic component.
