“…Other studies that observed significantly elevated HR and SBP recovery scores in hostile men had participants sub-merge their left hands for the CP task (Demaree & Harrison, 1997;Demaree, Harrison, & Rhodes, 2000). The relationship between defensiveness and cerebral laterality is currently unknown.…”

“…Moreover, hostile individuals exhibit a heightened left ear advantage to identifying auditory stimuli during a dichotic listening task after exposure to the CP, suggesting that right temporal activation is of particular importance to the hostility construct (Demaree & Harrison, 1997).…”

“…Investigations involving the hand cold pressor have also demonstrated that hostile individuals maintain significant post-stressor elevations in HR and SBP in comparison to individuals rating low on hostility, who display non-significant post-stressor differences from CV baseline measurements (Demaree & Harrison, 1997;Demaree, Harrison, & Rhodes, 2000).…”

Defensive hostility has been attributed as an early risk factor of coronary heart disease.The autonomic characteristics of high defensive, high hostile (HD) and low defensive, high hostile (LD) men and women were assessed with a variety of cardiovascular (CV) measures. Reactivity and recovery to an active laboratory stressor (video game, VG) and a passive laboratory stressor (hand cold pressor, CP) of 15 HD men, 16 LD men, 16 HD women, and 16 LD women were recorded. It was predicted that the CV patterning associated with the HD participants would display more sympathetic and less vagal control as well as the least pronounced recovery from the stressors in comparison to LD participants. Results revealed differential CV responses to the lab tasks by group. HD women displayed consistently high levels of low frequency power heart rate variability (HRV) during baseline and across conditions. HD men exhibited significantly pronounced heart rate reactivity and reduced high frequency power HRV to the CP task in comparison to LD men. Interestingly, LD women displayed weaker blood pressure (BP) recovery to the VG in comparison to HD women, whereas the opposite pattern was observed in BP recovery to the CP. These results suggest that defensiveness and sex may moderate the CV reactivity and recovery to different types of stressors in hostile participants.iii DEDICATION This thesis is dedicated most lovingly to my family, without whose encouragement, love, and support this project would not be possible.iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

“…Furthermore, the bulk of contemporary research has indicated that, while there are many commonalities in the physiological patterns displayed across different emotions, it is possible to identify discrete emotions based on the differences in associated physiological phenomena. In particular, anger has shown distinct patterns of cerebral activation (e.g., Davidson 2000;Heilman 1997;LeDoux 1994;Tomarken et al 1990), cardiovascular reactivity (Demaree 2000;Demaree and Harrison 1997), and motor function (Demaree et al 2002). Therefore, the cognitive model does not account for the full range of experience and expression of anger in terms of physiological and behavioral elements.…”

“…For example, it as been shown that individuals reporting high levels of cognitive anger demonstrate a left ear (right hemisphere) advantage on a dichotic listening task while individuals reporting lower levels of cognitive anger demonstrate a relative right ear (left hemisphere) advantage on dichotic listening tasks (Demaree and Harrison 1997). Although numerous studies utilizing the affective auditory verbal learning test (AAVL; Snyder and Harrison 1997) have demonstrated interesting effects in terms of cortical activation and cardiovascular effects, these studies have failed to demonstrate any consistent patterns related to the affective verbal learning component in the auditory modality .…”

The current review examined the research and current models of anger from three distinct literatures: psychophysiology, neuropsychology and the cognitive-behavioral perspective. Two primary conceptual difficulties are addressed in this review. First, the debate over how and when to differentiate between anger and hostility is discussed. Second, the issue regarding cognitive or emotional dominance or primacy in the experience of anger is considered. Once the conceptual ambiguity is addressed, data from the cognitive-behavioral, psychophysiological and neuropsychological literatures are reviewed with a focus on issues of laterality. Particular attention is given to research of appraisal theory from the cognitive literature, cortical arousal and related cerebral models from the psychophysiological literature, and functional cerebral systems from the neuropsychological literature. Despite significant differences appearing both within and between the bodies of literature, when viewed without the traditional ambiguity surrounding this topic, there appears to be a great deal of overlap which may be conducive to the construction of a unified theoretical model. Such a model is proposed in the final section of this paper.
