Physiological and behavioral correlates of anger dysregulation in adults were evaluated in the context of marital stress. Fifty-four married couples participated in a series of laboratory procedures that included electrocardiogram measures during a 15-min marital conflict interaction and an interview assessing their inability to regulate anger (anger dysregulation). Results from the multivariate regression analyses indicated that the nature of the couple's relationship, rather than individual levels of anger dysregulation, predicted lower parasympathetic cardiac activity (indexed by high-frequency heart period variability) and shorter cardiac interbeat intervals. Anger dysregulation, rather than the dyadic relationship, was predictive of greater displays of angry behavior during the marital conflict interaction. The importance of contextual factors in stress processes, such as stress due to marriage, are discussed in light of research linking poor marital quality to greater health risks for women than for men.
在婚姻压力背景下,对成年人愤怒调节障碍的生理和行为相关性进行了评估。54对已婚夫妇参与了一系列实验室程序,包括在15分钟的婚姻冲突互动期间进行心电图测量,以及一项评估他们调节愤怒能力不足(愤怒调节障碍)的访谈。多元回归分析结果表明,夫妻关系的性质,而非个体愤怒调节障碍水平,预测了较低的副交感神经心脏活动(以高频心搏间期变异性为指标)和较短的心搏间期。愤怒调节障碍,而非二元关系,预测了婚姻冲突互动期间更多的愤怒行为表现。鉴于将不良婚姻质量与女性比男性更高的健康风险联系起来的研究,讨论了压力过程中情境因素(如婚姻压力)的重要性。
