The current study used latent profile analysis (LPA) to examine anger control in 257 second-grade children (∼8 years of age). Anger was induced through losing a game and prize to a confederate who cheated. Three components of anger control were assessed: self-report of awareness of anger, observed intensity of angry facial expressions, and skin conductance reactivity. These components served as indicators in an LPA conducted to determine whether distinct groups of children who differed in anger control profiles would emerge. Five groups were found: (a) Physiology-and-Expression Controllers (high self-report, low expression, low physiological arousal), (b) Expression-Only Controllers (high self-report, low expression, high physiological arousal), (c) Non-controllers (high self-report, high expression, medium physiological arousal), (d) Non-reactive (low self-report, low expression, low physiological arousal), and (e) Non-reporters (low self-report, medium expression, medium physiological arousal). These findings are discussed in terms of implications for the assessment of children's anger control skills and intervention programs for children's anger management.
当前研究采用潜在剖面分析（LPA）来考察 257 名二年级儿童（约 8 岁）的愤怒控制情况。愤怒是通过与一个作弊的同伙输掉游戏和奖品而产生的。评估了愤怒控制的三个组成部分：自我报告的愤怒意识、观察到的愤怒面部表情强度和皮肤电反应性。这些组成部分作为 LPA 的指标，用于确定是否会出现愤怒控制特征不同的不同儿童群体。发现了五个群体：（a）生理和表达控制器（高自我报告，低表达，低生理唤醒），（b）仅表达控制器（高自我报告，低表达，高生理唤醒），（c）非控制器（高自我报告，高表达，中等生理唤醒），（d）无反应者（低自我报告，低表达，低生理唤醒）和（e）非报告者（低自我报告，中等表达，中等生理唤醒）。这些发现从评估儿童愤怒控制技能和儿童愤怒管理干预计划的角度进行了讨论。
