The hypothesis that trait anger is associated with an increased tendency to interpret ambiguous situations as anger-provoking was investigated in a reading time study. A total of 48 healthy volunteers read a series of short narrative passages and were asked to adopt the perspective of the main character, identified at the start of each passage. Reading times for key sentences, which described the main characters' angry or nonangry reactions to ambiguous anger-provoking situations, were recorded. Trait anger and impulsivity were negatively correlated with reading time for sentences describing both types of reaction, but anger was also correlated with relatively faster processing of sentences describing angry reactions. This study suggests that those with angrier dispositions are more likely to anticipate angry reactions from others.
本研究采用阅读时间法考察了特质愤怒与将模棱两可的情境解释为愤怒诱发因素的倾向增强之间的假设。共有 48 名健康志愿者阅读了一系列短篇叙事文章，并被要求采用每个段落开头所确定的主要角色的视角。记录了描述主要角色对模棱两可的愤怒诱发情境的愤怒或非愤怒反应的关键句子的阅读时间。特质愤怒和冲动性与描述两种反应类型的句子的阅读时间呈负相关，但愤怒也与描述愤怒反应的句子的相对较快处理相关。这项研究表明，脾气暴躁的人更有可能从他人那里预见到愤怒的反应。
