Abstract

This meta-analytic review analyzed the effects of anger treatment on various aspects of anger with 65% of studies not previously reviewed. To improve on past reviews, this review included only noninstitutionalized adults with demonstrable anger as determined by standardized measures. The studies were compiled from a computer search of published and unpublished anger treatment studies conducted between January 1980 and August 2002. The search resulted in 23 studies containing one or more treatment groups and a control group, with effect sizes derived for each anger problem within each treatment category. The meta-analysis resulted in medium to large effect sizes across therapies. Further analyses of effect sizes within treatment groups by the kind of anger reported support the implementation of cognitive therapies for driving anger, anger suppression, and trait anger. In contrast, relaxation is recommended in cases of state anger. Other implications for treatment and future research directions are discussed, including a special need for research with treatment-seeking individuals and clinical populations.

摘要

这项荟萃分析综述分析了愤怒治疗对愤怒各个方面的影响，其中65%的研究此前未被综述过。为改进以往的综述，本综述仅纳入了经标准化测量确定有明显愤怒情绪的非机构化成年人。这些研究是通过计算机检索1980年1月至2002年8月期间发表和未发表的愤怒治疗研究汇编而成的。检索结果得到23项研究，这些研究包含一个或多个治疗组和一个对照组，并针对每个治疗类别中的每个愤怒问题得出了效应量。荟萃分析得出各种疗法的效应量为中等至较大。通过所报告的愤怒类型对治疗组内的效应量进行进一步分析，支持对激惹性愤怒、愤怒抑制和特质愤怒实施认知疗法。相比之下，对于状态性愤怒的情况，建议采用放松疗法。文中还讨论了对治疗的其他影响以及未来的研究方向，包括对寻求治疗的个体和临床人群进行研究的特殊需求。
