The present study was conducted with the aim of studying the comparison of anger management, anxiety and perceived stress in patients with cancer and Coronary Heart Disease (CHD). The two groups of subjects consisted of patients with cancer (n = 120) and patients with CHD (n = 118) who were selected by using a convenience sampling method and by the employment of Spielberger's State-Trait Anger Expression, Costello and Camry Depression and Anxiety scale and Perceived Stress Scale of Cohen, Kamarak and Mermelstein. In order to analyze the data, after the calculation of descriptive statistics and correlation coefficients, MONOVA was employed to test the hypotheses. The findings indicated that patients with CHD regulate the excitement by externalizing anger and patients with cancer control this excitement by internalizing anger. Moreover, stress and depression in patients with CHD were greater than in patients with cancer. The findings were explained by the employment of the theoretical patterns of the mediating role of personality and regulation of excitement in stress and illness.
本研究旨在比较癌症患者和冠心病（CHD）患者在愤怒管理、焦虑和感知压力方面的情况。两组受试者分别为癌症患者（n = 120）和冠心病患者（n = 118），采用便利抽样法选取，并使用斯皮尔伯格状态-特质愤怒表达量表、科斯特洛和卡姆里抑郁焦虑量表以及科恩、卡马拉克和梅尔梅斯坦的感知压力量表。为了分析数据，在计算描述性统计量和相关系数后，采用单因素方差分析来检验假设。研究结果表明，冠心病患者通过将愤怒外化来调节兴奋情绪，而癌症患者则通过将愤怒内化来控制这种兴奋情绪。此外，冠心病患者的压力和抑郁程度高于癌症患者。研究结果通过人格在压力和疾病中的中介作用以及兴奋调节的理论模式进行了解释。
