“…Anger rumination was related with higher levels of Anger In and Out, aggression, anxiety and depression; conversely, negative correlations were found with the Anger Control subscales. These results corroborate that anger rumination is associated with negative mood, lack of control, and aggression, as demonstrated in previous studies (Nolen‐Hoeksema et al, ; Papageorgiou & Wells, ; Sukhodolsky et al, ; Verona, ; White & Turner, ). As expected, the four factors of the ARS correlated higher with Angry Rumination and Planning Revenge.…”

“…Studies have found that anger rumination increases and maintains negative affect and impairs social adjustment through a ‘feeding the flame’ based cycle (Bushman, ; Rusting & Nolen‐Hoeksema, ). Anger rumination has demonstrated a predictive role in higher levels of aggression in correlational (Anestis, Anestis, Selby, & Joiner, ; García‐Sancho, Salguero, Vasquez, & Fernández‐Berrocal, ; Verona, ; White & Turner, ), as well as experimental studies (Bushman, ; Bushman, Baumeister, & Phillips, ; Bushman, Bonacci, Pedersen, Vasquez, & Miller, ; Denson, Pedersen, Friese, Hahm, & Roberts, ; Pedersen et al, ). Anger rumination predicts hostility (Anestis et al, ), anger experiences (Denson et al, ), and high levels of arousal (Pedersen et al, ).…”

Objective: Rumination has been empirically supported in the experience of anger. The Anger Rumination Scale (ARS) was developed to assess ruminative processes in anger. The aim of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the ARS in Australia and Spain. Method: A large non-clinical sample (N = 1,752) completed a battery including the ARS and measures of trait anger, anger expression and control, aggression, emotional symptoms, and emotion regulation strategies, to determine the factor structure, validity, and reliability of the ARS. Variations between the two cultural samples were also analysed. Results: Confirmatory factor analysis verified the four-factor structure of Angry Memories, Thoughts of Revenge, Angry Afterthoughts, and Understanding of Causes in both samples. Findings established good psychometric properties, evidence of convergent and discriminant validity, and associations in the expected direction with related variables. Males in both samples endorsed Thoughts of Revenge significantly higher. Spanish participants scored higher on Angry Memories and Understanding of Causes. Conclusions: The ARS is a valid measure of anger rumination in Australian and Spanish populations. Further, gender and cultural variations may influence the tendency to engage in anger rumination.

“…Preacher and Hayes' (2008) bootstrapping procedure for mediation analyses was used, specifically the PROCESS macro for SPSS (Hayes, 2012), with rounding to three decimal places (Chang, Jarry, & Kong, 2014;White & Turner, 2014). The bootstrapping method calculates the total effect of the independent variable (i.e., internalized homophobia) on the dependent variable (i.e., binge eating) when the mediator (i.e., shame or depression) is not accounted for, the direct effect of the independent variable on the dependent variable when accounting for the variance in the dependent variable attributed to the mediator, and the indirect effect of the independent variable on the dependent variable through the mediator.…”

There is limited research evidence about the specific factors influencing disordered eating for lesbian and bisexual women. Therefore, this study investigated relationships among binge eating, internalized homophobia, shame, depression, and distress tolerance in a sample of lesbian (n=72) and bisexual women (n=66). Two hypotheses were tested. First, it was hypothesized that shame and depression would mediate the relationship between internalized homophobia and binge eating. Second, it was hypothesized that distress tolerance would moderate the relationship between shame and binge eating and the relationship between depression and binge eating in the mediation relationships proposed in the first hypothesis. Results indicated that shame was a significant mediator for the relationship between internalized homophobia and binge eating, that depression was not a significant mediator, and that distress tolerance did not moderate the significant mediation relationship between shame and binge eating. The data in this study also indicated that the proportions of lesbian and bisexual participants who reported binge eating and compensatory behavior did not differ significantly, but that bisexual participants reported significantly more depression and shame than lesbian participants.

“…A emotion regulation appears to relatively modify the relationship between anger rumination and reactive aggression (White & Turner, 2014). Moreover, some studies concluded that maladaptive emotion regulation leads to aggression through the increased experience of negative affect (Roberton et al, 2012).…”

Objective: Emotion dysregulation, negative affects, and aggression can affect each other. This study aimed to demonstrate the role of the negative effects and emotion dysregulation in aggressio. Methods:The statistical population was Kharazmi University students that 280 of them were selected by random multiphasic sampling method. The study instruments were Buss-Perry aggression questionnaire, the short form of cognitive emotion regulation questionnaire and positive affect and negative affect scale. The Pearson correlation, Student t test, and hierarchical regression tests were used to analyse the data.Results: Gender, negative affect and maladaptive emotion regulation strategies (rumination, catastrophizing, and others blaming) were correlated with aggression. After controlling for gender and negative affect, maladaptive emotion regulation explained only 0.029% of the aggression variance and in this case and negative affect could explain 11.4% of its variance. Furthermore, by controlling for gender and negative affect, others blaming and catastrophizing strategies could explain 0.077% of the aggression variance. Conclusion:This study demonstrates the more important role of negative affect in predicting aggression. It seems that efficient methods to improve mood state can be helpful in aggression reduction.
