This study tests whether specific dimensions of emotion dysregulation predict maladaptive anger expression among offenders from Italy and Australia. In particular, it examines the unique associations among emotion dysregulation dimensions and different aspects of anger expression and control, in both inmates and offenders on parole. Multiple regression analyses reveal that difficulties controlling impulsive behaviour when distressed are related to state anger, trait anger, and chronic anger expression. On the other hand, alexithymia predicts the maladaptive expression of anger inwardly directed. Finally, lack of emotional awareness and limited access to emotion regulation (ER) strategies are negatively related to anger control, suggesting that they may represent useful treatment targets. Interestingly, incarcerated offenders reported significantly higher levels of state anger and lower levels of anger control out (i.e. seeking support from others) than offenders living on parole in the community, highlighting the importance of contextual influences in the emotional life of offenders.
本研究检验了情绪失调的特定维度是否能预测来自意大利和澳大利亚的罪犯的适应不良愤怒表达。具体而言，它考察了情绪失调维度与愤怒表达和控制的不同方面之间的独特关联，涉及在押囚犯和假释罪犯。多元回归分析表明，在痛苦时难以控制冲动行为与状态愤怒、特质愤怒和慢性愤怒表达有关。另一方面，述情障碍预示着向内指向的愤怒的适应不良表达。最后，缺乏情绪意识和有限的情绪调节（ER）策略的使用与愤怒控制呈负相关，这表明它们可能是有用的治疗靶点。有趣的是，与社区中的假释罪犯相比，被监禁的罪犯报告的状态愤怒水平显著更高，而向外的愤怒控制水平（即向他人寻求支持）更低，这突出了情境影响在罪犯情感生活中的重要性。
