    The present study investigated the personality of people who manifested Type A behavior by using the Todai Egogram (TEG).
    The TEG and the Jenkins Activity Survey Student Version (JAS-S) were administered to 179 undergraduate students (93 male, 86 female). Based on the scores obtained on JAS-S, 34 of these subjects were identified as Type A subjects, 46 were as Type B and 99 were as Type X subjects. The TEG scores of Type A subjects were compared with those of the Type B subjects. The Type A group showed significantly higher TEG scores in CP, A, and FC, and also significantly lower scores in AC than those obtained by Type B group.
    The male Type A group showed almost the same result as above. The female Type A group, however, showed nonsignificantly higher TEG scores than Type X group. The female Type B group showed significantly lower TEG scores in CP and FC than those obtained by Type X group.
    The result clarified that Type A person's perspnality was dominant and critical. It also indicated that there was some difference between male and female Type A personality.

    In order to investigate the relationship between health problems and life habits in school children, a measurement of physique, physical and motor abilities, and a questionnaire survey about life habits and subjective symptoms were conducted with 431 higher-grade children of an elementary school. The results showed that: 1)Children estimated themselves as not healthy, were easily tired, complained about many symptoms and thought themselves thin. 2)Children who answered that they had mental stress or troubles thought themselves obese and tended to overeat. 3)Obese children showed poor motor abilities in spite of their good muscular strengths, and had several problems in eating habits. 4)The girls had strong concern about their figures and it interacted with the other behavioral risk factors, e.g. stress and eating behavior. It is suggested that further research about behavioral risk factors in school children is necessary in order to develop effective health promotion.

    The purpose of this study is to examine the relation among self-esteem, appraisal (amount of stressful experience, degree of stressfulness and controllability), coping and psychological stress responses in a sample of 190 university students. Product-moment correlation cofficients were calculated between self-esteem and appraisal, between self-esteem and coping strategies, between self-esteem and psycholological stress responses. Self-esteem was negatively correlated with amount of stressful experiences, Escape-Avoidance coping, Accepting Responsibility coping and psychological stress responses. Furthermore, multiple regression analysis revealed that self-esteem, Escape-Avoidance coping and Positive reappraisal coping influenced the psychological stress responses.
    These results suggest that students with low self-esteem were tend to appraise daily events as more stressful, to use Escape-Avoidance coping towards stressor more frequently and to show more psychological stess responses.

    The purpose of this study is to longitudinally investigate the effects of stress and social support on illness symptom, loneliness, and the satisfaction with the school in a life transition. Sixty-five freshmen in a nurses' school filled out a questionnaire two times: immediately after enrolment and before summer vacation. They all lived with parents.
    Major findings are as follows: (1) In comparison with first survey, stress and the number of friends in the same school increased and loneliness decreased at second survey. (2) At both first and second survey illness symptom in high stress was more than in low stress, regardless of the level of social support. Loneliness in high support was less than in low support, regardless of the stress level. (3)The level of loneliness was determined by social support at both survey. Illness symptom was determined by stress, social support and the satisfaction with the school at fitst survey.
