Zusammenfassung:	This article presents a new Type A Videotaped Clinical Examination scale that measures insecurity. This scale was validated against an existing insecurity measure in a sample of 204 individuals. The results indicated that this new scale is a valid measure of insecurity. The relation between insecurity and type A behavior was examined in a sample of 3013 people. In this large population insecurity showed a strong positive correlation to type A behavior and to each of the two overt behavioral components, time urgency and free-floating hostility.
