“…From a clinical perspective, cognitive behavioral interventions (e.g., Conradi, de Jonge, & Ormel, 2008) and mindfulness based interventions (Borders et al, 2010) that are effective in reducing rumination may also be effective in reducing hostility/anger. Also, teaching mood regulation skills, improving ER expectancies, and reducing avoidance of emotion can be potentially relevant in reducing the risk for internalizing problems (Brockmeyer et al, 2012;Feldman, Harley, Kerrigan, Jacobo, & Fava, 2009;Fergus, Bardeen, & Orcutt, 2013;Park, Edmondson, & Lee, 2012). Overall, given that hostility/anger is related to negative outcomes beyond internalizing symptoms, including a lesser likelihood of gaining permanent employment (Virtanen et al, 2005), such feelings may be worth addressing in therapy or contexts that aim to enhance college students' interpersonal skills and self-efficacy in interpersonal situations for the goal of improving their psychological adjustment.…”
