There is growing dissatisfaction with a dichotomized "anger-in" versus "anger-out" view of anger coping. Three studies using student and community adultsamples revealed a broader understanding of the nature of anger coping styles and led to the development of the new Behavioral Anger Response Questionnaire (BARQ). The BARQ is empirically derived and factorially validated and has good psychometrics. Results suggest that dichotomizing anger responses as "in" versus "out" is too coarse and that a 6-factor model may be more appropriate. The 6 factors identified here are Direct Anger-Out, Assertion, Support-Seeking, Diffusion, Avoidance, and Rumination. Women reported use of a wider range of anger coping styles, especially more social support-seeking and more use of anger diffusion strategies than men.
人们越来越不满于将愤怒应对简单地分为“向内愤怒”和“向外愤怒”的二元观点。三项针对学生和社区成年人样本的研究揭示了对愤怒应对方式本质更广泛的理解，并促成了新的行为愤怒反应问卷（BARQ）的开发。BARQ是基于实证得出且经过因素验证的，具有良好的心理测量学特性。结果表明，将愤怒反应简单分为“向内”和“向外”过于粗糙，六因素模型可能更合适。这里确定的六个因素是直接向外愤怒、坚定自信、寻求支持、分散、回避和沉思。女性报告使用的愤怒应对方式范围更广，尤其是比男性更多地寻求社会支持和更多地使用愤怒分散策略。
