This study investigated the relationship between two dimensions of anger-hostility--the expression of anger-hostility and the experience of anger-hostility--and cardiovascular reactivity in provoked and angered men. A serial subtraction task was administered to 41 male undergraduates who were provoked and angered. A measure of the expression of anger-hostility correlated positively and significantly with systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP) reactivity. There were no significant correlations between a measure of the experience of anger-hostility and cardiovascular reactivity. The two types of anger-hostility were also found to relate differentially to life-style variables that have been identified as risk factors for coronary heart disease (CHD), with only the expression of anger-hostility showing positive relationships with these life-style CHD risk factors. These findings are discussed within the context of a similar differential relationship between the two dimensions of anger-hostility and CAD and CHD. Finally, significant negative relationships were obtained between the experience of anger-hostility and resting BP and heart rate levels. These findings are discussed within the context of other data suggesting that trait anxiety-neuroticism may have protective properties.
本研究调查了愤怒-敌意的两个维度——愤怒-敌意的表达与愤怒-敌意的体验——与被激怒男性的心血管反应性之间的关系。对41名被激怒的男性大学生进行了连续减法任务。愤怒-敌意表达的测量值与收缩压和舒张压（BP）反应性呈显著正相关。愤怒-敌意体验的测量值与心血管反应性之间无显著相关性。还发现这两种愤怒-敌意类型与已被确定为冠心病（CHD）危险因素的生活方式变量有不同的关联，只有愤怒-敌意的表达与这些生活方式的冠心病危险因素呈正相关。在愤怒-敌意的两个维度与CAD和CHD之间类似的差异关系背景下讨论了这些发现。最后，愤怒-敌意的体验与静息血压和心率水平之间获得了显著的负相关。在其他数据表明特质焦虑-神经质可能具有保护作用的背景下讨论了这些发现。
