The metacognitive approach conceptualizes the relationship between anger and rumination as driven by metacognitive beliefs, which are information individuals hold about their own cognition and about coping strategies that impact on it. The present study aimed to test the prospective predictive impact of metacognitive beliefs and rumination on anger in a community sample. Seventy-six participants were recruited and engaged in a 2-week anger, rumination, and metacognitive beliefs monitoring protocol. A multi-wave panel design was employed to test whether metacognitive beliefs and rumination have a prospective impact on anger. Metacognitive beliefs and rumination were found to have a significant prospective impact on anger that was independent from the number of triggering events. Metacognitive beliefs about the need to control thoughts were shown to have a direct impact on subsequent anger, independently from rumination. These findings provide support for the potential value for applying metacognitive theory and therapy to anger-related problems. Aggr. Behav. 43:421-429, 2017. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
元认知方法将愤怒与沉思之间的关系概念化为由元认知信念驱动，元认知信念是个体对自己的认知以及对影响认知的应对策略所持有的信息。本研究旨在测试元认知信念和沉思对社区样本中愤怒情绪的前瞻性预测影响。招募了76名参与者，他们参与了一项为期两周的愤怒、沉思和元认知信念监测方案。采用多波面板设计来测试元认知信念和沉思是否对愤怒有前瞻性影响。研究发现，元认知信念和沉思对愤怒有显著的前瞻性影响，且这种影响独立于触发事件的数量。关于控制思维必要性的元认知信念被证明对随后的愤怒有直接影响，且独立于沉思。这些发现为将元认知理论和疗法应用于愤怒相关问题的潜在价值提供了支持。《攻击行为》43:421 - 429, 2017。© 2017威利期刊公司。
