Hemodynamic responses were studied during work on serial subtraction and digits backwards tasks in 99 healthy male undergraduates jointly classified as high or low heart rate reactors, Type A or Type B behavior pattern, and as having positive or negative parental history of hypertension. Heart rate, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure were recorded, and rate pressure product was calculated at rest and during the tasks. High heart rate reactors to a cold pressor task responded with relatively higher heart rate and rate pressure product during both cognitive tasks than low heart rate reactors. Type A subjects defined by Jenkins Activity Survey did not differ from Type Bs on any of these physiological variables, although behavioral evidence demonstrated greater effort and superior performance by the Type As. Subjects with a positive parental history of hypertension manifested greater systolic and diastolic pressures and rate pressure product responses to the cognitive challenge than those lacking such parental history. These results indicate that the individual difference variables of heart rate reactivity and parental history of hypertension predicted different hemodynamic response patterns to behavioral challenge.
