The State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory-II (STAXI-II) is a psychometric assessment that measures the experience, expression, and control of anger in research and clinical settings. Although the STAXI-II is extensively used and its psychometric properties supported, no psychometric critique has yet specifically assessed its utility with forensic populations. The aim of this critique was to explore the validity and reliability of the STAXI-II when used with forensic samples. It was found that the psychometric properties of the STAXI-II, when used with forensic populations, are satisfactory. However, gaps in research and issues that need to be addressed in practice have been highlighted. Although STAXI-II provides a comprehensive measure of anger, it does not capture all aspects of the construct. In addition, the tool does not contain an inherent validity scale, indicating the need to control for social desirability responding when administering the STAXI-II. Practical implications, limitations, and future research will be discussed.
状态-特质愤怒表达量表第二版（STAXI-II）是一种心理测量评估工具，用于在研究和临床环境中测量愤怒的体验、表达和控制。尽管STAXI-II被广泛使用且其心理测量特性得到支持，但尚未有心理测量学批评专门评估其在法医群体中的效用。本批评的目的是探讨STAXI-II在用于法医样本时的有效性和可靠性。研究发现，STAXI-II在用于法医群体时的心理测量特性是令人满意的。然而，研究中的差距以及实践中需要解决的问题也已凸显。尽管STAXI-II提供了对愤怒的全面测量，但它并未涵盖该构念的所有方面。此外，该工具不包含内在效度量表，这表明在实施STAXI-II时需要控制社会期望反应。将讨论实际意义、局限性和未来研究。
