Previous studies have shown that self-reports of an individual's anger expression vary between the home and the work domain. The aim of this study was to investigate the validity of such self-reports by comparing them with reports of intimate partners and work colleagues in the respective domain. Participants (N= 86) rated their anger expression on the general and on domain-specific versions of the State-Trait-Anger Expression Inventory (Spielberger, 1988). The self-rated anger-out-home scores correlated highly with partner ratings of anger-out-home scores (r = .61) and colleague ratings of anger-out-work scores correlated substantially with self-rated anger-out-work scores (r = .54). A similar but weaker correlation pattern emerged for anger control but not for anger-in. Self-other correspondence was higher for the domain-specific anger expression assessment than for the general anger expression assessment. These results demonstrate that the domain-specific strategy for the assessment of self-reported anger expression can validly measure differences in anger expression in different domains.
先前的研究表明，个体在家中和工作场所的愤怒表达自我报告存在差异。本研究旨在通过将自我报告与相应领域的亲密伴侣和工作同事的报告进行比较，来验证这种自我报告的有效性。参与者（N=86）使用状态特质愤怒表达量表（Spielberger，1988）的一般和特定领域版本对愤怒表达进行评分。在家中的愤怒表达自评得分与伴侣在家中的愤怒表达得分的评定高度相关（r =.61），而工作中的愤怒表达自评得分与同事的愤怒表达得分评定呈显著相关（r =.54）。对于愤怒控制，也出现了类似但较弱的相关模式，但对于愤怒内隐则不然。在特定领域的愤怒表达评估中，自我与他人的一致性要高于一般愤怒表达评估。这些结果表明，特定领域的自我报告愤怒表达评估策略可以有效地衡量不同领域中愤怒表达的差异。
