This study examined effects of the autonomy-connectedness components sensitivity to others, self-awareness and capacity for managing new situations on anger experience versus anger expression in adolescent boys and girls. One hundred thirty-one high school students were randomly assigned to an anger-inducing or neutral condition using the Dictator Game. Whereas after anger induction boys experienced and expressed anger independent of autonomy-connectedness, girls' anger experience depended on the level of sensitivity to others: girls experienced increased anger only when they scored high on sensitivity to others. However, girls' expression of anger did not depend on the level of sensitivity to others. Effects of self-awareness and capacity for managing new situations were found when anger was not induced. This study contributed to emotion regulation research by showing differences in anger experience and anger expression as a function of autonomy-connectedness in boys and girls.
本研究考察了自主性-连接性成分（对他人的敏感性、自我意识和管理新情况的能力）对青少年男孩和女孩愤怒体验与愤怒表达的影响。131 名高中生被随机分配到愤怒诱发或中性条件下，使用独裁者游戏。在愤怒诱发后，男孩的愤怒体验独立于自主性-连接性，而女孩的愤怒体验则取决于对他人的敏感性水平：只有当女孩对他人的敏感性得分较高时，她们才会感到愤怒增加。然而，女孩的愤怒表达并不取决于对他人的敏感性水平。在没有诱发愤怒的情况下，自我意识和管理新情况的能力会产生影响。本研究通过展示男孩和女孩的愤怒体验和表达作为自主性-连接性的函数的差异，为情绪调节研究做出了贡献。
