The assessment of anger has received increased attention because of growing evidence that anger and hostility are related to heart disease. Research on anger assessment has also been stimulated by the development of psychometric measures for evaluating different facets of anger, such as the State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory (STAXI). In this study, factor analyses of the responses of a large sample of university students to the 44 STAXI items identified 7 factors. Of these, the first 6 factors closely corresponded with the 6 STAXI scales and subscales: State Anger (S-Anger); Trait Anger Temperament and Reaction; and Anger-In, Anger-Out, and Anger-Control. All 10 STAXI S-Anger items had salient loadings on the 1st factor for both sexes; the 7th factor also consisted primarily of S-Anger items. Factor analyses of responses to the 10 S-Anger items clearly confirmed two S-Anger factors for both sexes: Feeling Angry (e.g., "I am furious") and Feel Like Expressing Anger (e.g., "I feel like hitting someone").
由于越来越多的证据表明愤怒和敌意与心脏病有关，愤怒评估受到了更多关注。用于评估愤怒不同方面的心理测量方法（如状态-特质愤怒表达量表[STAXI]）的发展也推动了愤怒评估的研究。在本研究中，对大量大学生对44个STAXI项目的回答进行因素分析，确定了7个因素。其中，前6个因素与STAXI的6个量表和子量表密切对应：状态愤怒（S-愤怒）；特质愤怒气质与反应；以及愤怒内化、愤怒外化和愤怒控制。所有10个STAXI S-愤怒项目在男女的第1个因素上都有显著载荷；第7个因素也主要由S-愤怒项目组成。对10个S-愤怒项目回答的因素分析清楚地证实了男女都存在两个S-愤怒因素：感到愤怒（如“我很愤怒”）和想要表达愤怒（如“我想打人”）。
