Anger is a common affective experience, yet it is relatively understudied in the substance use treatment literature. This study explored anger as a predictor of treatment outcomes in a large sample of adolescents. Data were extracted from the Drug Abuse Treatment Outcome Study for Adolescents (DATOS-A). An anger profile was created based on adolescents' pre-treatment responses to four items assessing history of temper outbursts and aggression. Individuals were classified as High Anger ( = 506) and Normal/Low Anger ( = 2,326) based on their pattern of responses to these items. High Anger at baseline was associated with several poor outcomes at the 12-month follow-up point, including a greater likelihood of experiencing delirium tremens, relapsing on drugs due to alcohol use, having difficulty controlling temper and behavior, and being arrested for attacks on persons.
愤怒是一种常见的情感体验,但在药物使用治疗文献中对其研究相对较少。本研究在大量青少年样本中探讨了愤怒作为治疗结果预测指标的情况。数据取自青少年药物滥用治疗结果研究(DATOS - A)。根据青少年治疗前对四项评估脾气爆发和攻击史项目的回答创建了愤怒概况。根据他们对这些项目的回答模式,个体被分为高愤怒组(n = 506)和正常/低愤怒组(n = 2326)。基线时的高愤怒与12个月随访点的几个不良结果相关,包括经历震颤谵妄、因饮酒而复吸毒品、难以控制脾气和行为以及因袭击他人而被捕的可能性更大。
