Hostility is a multidimensional construct related to cardiovascular (CV) disease risk. Daily hostile mood and social interactions may precipitate stress-related CV responses in hostile individuals.
Determine whether trait cognitive hostility best predicts daily hostile mood and social interactions relative to other trait hostility factors and explore the temporal links between these daily measures.
One hundred seventy-one participants completed assessments of four trait hostility scales. Participants completed an electronic diary across 3 days, assessing current hostile mood and social interaction quality.
Multiple regression analyses revealed both affective and cognitive hostility to be significant predictors of daily hostile mood, and cognitive hostility alone to predict daily social strain. Additional analyses revealed previous social strain to predict elevated subsequent hostile mood.
Episodes of social strain may give rise to elevated hostile mood. Trait cognitive hostility may be an important factor in predicting daily social strain.
敌意是一个与心血管（CV）疾病风险相关的多维结构。日常敌对情绪和社会互动可能会导致敌对个体产生与压力相关的 CV 反应。
确定特质认知敌意相对于其他敌意因素是否能更好地预测日常的敌对情绪和社会互动，并探讨这些日常测量之间的时间联系。
171 名参与者完成了四项特质敌意量表的评估。参与者在 3 天内完成了电子日记，评估当前的敌对情绪和社会互动质量。
多元回归分析显示，情感和认知敌意都是日常敌对情绪的显著预测因素，而只有认知敌意可以预测日常的社会紧张。进一步的分析显示，先前的社会紧张会预测随后敌对情绪的升高。
社会紧张的发作可能会导致敌对情绪的升高。特质认知敌意可能是预测日常社会紧张的一个重要因素。
