Cynical hostility has been linked to coronary heart disease (CHD), and there is mixed support for the hypothesis that cynical hostility may contribute to CHD through exaggerated cardiovascular responses to anger-provoking stressors. The present study tested the influences of cynical hostility on affective and cardiovascular responses to provocation in 68 undergraduate men. Subjects were divided into high and low cynical hostility groups by a median split on Cook-Medley Hostility Scale scores, and half of the subjects in each group were harassed during competition on a video game. High hostile subjects reported greater anger than low hostile subjects during the competition, independently of harassment, and harassment produced stronger feelings of mistreatment, independently of hostility. Harassed subjects experienced larger systolic blood pressure responses only during an affect rating period after the competition, but the responses were not influenced by hostility. These findings provide further evidence that cynical hostility, anger, and cardiovascular reactivity are not simply nor consistently related.
愤世嫉俗的敌意已被证明与冠心病（CHD）有关，对于愤世嫉俗的敌意可能通过对愤怒诱发应激源的过度心血管反应导致冠心病这一假设，存在不同的支持观点。本研究测试了68名本科男性中愤世嫉俗的敌意对挑衅时情感和心血管反应的影响。根据库克-梅德利敌意量表得分的中位数划分，将受试者分为高愤世嫉俗敌意组和低愤世嫉俗敌意组，每组一半的受试者在视频游戏竞赛期间受到骚扰。高敌意受试者在竞赛期间报告的愤怒程度高于低敌意受试者，与是否受到骚扰无关，而骚扰产生了更强烈的受虐待感，与敌意无关。受骚扰的受试者仅在竞赛后的情感评分期间经历了更大的收缩压反应，但这些反应不受敌意的影响。这些发现进一步证明，愤世嫉俗的敌意、愤怒和心血管反应性并非简单且一致地相关。
