The goals of this study were (1) to compare trait and state measures of anger expression, (2) to examine associations between situational variables and anger expression, and (3) to examine relationships between trait and state anger expression and ambulatory blood pressure.
One hundred college students completed state and trait versions,of the Spielberger (1) anger expression scale. State measures were completed in response to specific anger-provoking situations as they occurred over a 7-day period. Ambulatory blood pressure was recorded on one of these days.
Moderate correlations were observed between trait and state anger expression. Significant associations were found between a number of situational variables and state anger expression scales. Neither trait nor state anger expressions scales were related to blood pressure levels.
These results indicate that trait and state measures of anger expression are not equivalent and that situational factors play an important role in anger expression. Situational variability may be an important factor in determining the health consequences of anger expression.
本研究的目标为：（1）比较愤怒表达的特质和状态测量；（2）检验情境变量与愤怒表达之间的关联；（3）检验特质和状态愤怒表达与动态血压之间的关系。
一百名大学生完成了斯皮尔伯格（1）愤怒表达量表的状态和特质版本。状态测量是针对7天内发生的特定愤怒诱发情境完成的。其中一天记录了动态血压。
特质与状态愤怒表达之间观察到中等程度的相关性。在一些情境变量与状态愤怒表达量表之间发现了显著关联。特质和状态愤怒表达量表均与血压水平无关。
这些结果表明，愤怒表达的特质和状态测量并不等同，情境因素在愤怒表达中起重要作用。情境变异性可能是决定愤怒表达对健康影响的一个重要因素。
