The hypothesis that hostile and nonhostile individuals would differ in both magnitude and duration of cardiovascular reactivity to relived anger was tested. Participants were 66 older adults (mean age, 62; 38 women and 28 men; 70% Caucasian American, 30% African American). Each took part in a structured interview scored using the Interpersonal Hostility Assessment Technique. Later each relived a self-chosen anger memory while heart rate and systolic and diastolic blood pressures were measured continuously using an Ohmeda Finapres monitor. Hostile participants had larger and longer-lasting blood pressure responses to anger. African Americans also showed longer-lasting blood pressure reactivity to anger. Health and measurement implications are discussed.
本研究检验了一个假设,即敌对型和非敌对型个体在重温愤怒时心血管反应的强度和持续时间会有所不同。研究参与者为66名老年人(平均年龄62岁;38名女性和28名男性;70%为美国白人,30%为非裔美国人)。每位参与者都参加了一次结构化访谈,访谈结果使用人际敌意评估技术进行评分。之后,每位参与者重温一段自己选择的愤怒记忆,同时使用欧姆龙无创连续血压监测仪持续测量心率、收缩压和舒张压。敌对型参与者对愤怒的血压反应更大且持续时间更长。非裔美国人对愤怒的血压反应也持续更长时间。文中还讨论了对健康和测量的影响。
