A Comparative Review of the Interview and Questionnaire Methods in the Assessment of the Coronary-Prone Behavior Pattern

  • C. David Jenkins
Chapter

Abstract

What is the coronary-pro ne behavior pattern really? Before we can come to any conclusions regarding the adequacy of methods for assessing a concept, we have to agree on some standard of what that concept really is.
