In the present study, 31 of 89 adolescents responded affirmatively to the following statement: "Sometimes I get so angry that I worry I will become violent." These adolescents (the anger group) were compared with the nonanger group, and several differences were found. The anger group (1) reported less intimacy with parents, received less support from them, and was less close to siblings; (2) had more opposite-sex friends, dated more frequently, and more frequently had a boyfriend or girlfriend; (3) had a lower grade point average; (4) were more depressed; and (5) used marijuana more frequently. Results of a regression analysis revealed that depression and dating were the only significant predictors of anger, explaining 17% of the variance.
在本研究中,89名青少年中有31人对以下陈述做出了肯定回答:“有时我非常生气,担心自己会变得暴力。” 将这些青少年(愤怒组)与非愤怒组进行比较,发现了一些差异。愤怒组:(1)报告与父母的亲密程度较低,从父母那里得到的支持较少,与兄弟姐妹的关系也不那么亲密;(2)有更多的异性朋友,约会更频繁,更经常有男朋友或女朋友;(3)平均绩点较低;(4)更抑郁;(5)更频繁地使用大麻。回归分析结果显示,抑郁和约会是愤怒的唯一显著预测因素,解释了17%的方差。
