“…The content of the vignettes was about the therapist refusing to go to the client's performance, giving bad advice for how to study, having to terminate after 12 sessions, and falling asleep during the session. Male clients were chosen because of their expected provocative effect (Nunn & Thomas, 1999;Sharkin, 1993) and to control for possible sex effects in the vignettes. Each vignette consisted of five client statements (four involving verbal anger directed at the therapist, one involving a silent glare directed at the therapist) interspersed with 30-s pauses for the trainee to provide a written intervention.…”

“…Murray, 1985;Papps & O'Carroll, 1998; siehe auch Nunn & Thomas, 1999). Erklärt werden können diese Befunde durch die Annahme, dass ein niedriges Selbstwertgefühl die Vulnerabilität gegenüber Provokationen erhöht, weil die Verletzung eines ohnehin schon niedrigen Selbstwertgefühls als äu-ßerst aversiv erlebt wird (vgl.…”

Zusammenfassung:In der vorliegenden Studie mit N = 136 studentischen Probanden wurde der Zusammenhang zwischen zwei Aspekten des Selbstkonzeptes, dem globalen Selbstwertgefühl und der Standfestigkeit gegenüber signifikanten anderen, und der Reaktion auf eine experimentell induzierte ärgerauslö-sende Provokation untersucht. Das Selbstkonzept sowie das habituelle ärgerbezogene Verhalten wurden eine Woche vor der experimentellen Provokation erfasst. Ärger wurde induziert, indem die Probanden in ungerechtfertigter Weise für einen von ihnen nicht verschuldeten Computerabsturz verantwortlich gemacht wurden. Im Anschluss an die Ärgerinduktion wurden über Fragebogen die emotionalen Reaktionen, das ärgerbezogene Verhalten, die Verhaltensziele und die Bewertung des Verhaltens erfasst. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass auf der habituellen Ebene hohe Ausprägungen des Selbstwertgefühls und der Standfestigkeit mit einer niedrigeren Neigung zu Anger-in verbunden waren. Das Selbstwertgefühl hatte auf das selbsteingeschätzte Verhalten und die Verhaltensziele in der konkreten Ärgersituation hingegen keinen Einfluss; eine höhere Standfestigkeit war jedoch mit weniger submissivem und ruminativem Verhalten sowie weniger Konfliktvermeidung und mehr Durchsetzungswillen verbunden. Die Ergebnisse werden im Hinblick auf den in der Literatur umstrittenen Zusammenhang zwischen Selbstwertgefühl, Ärgerneigung und Aggression diskutiert.Schlüsselwörter: Selbstwertgefühl, Standfestigkeit, Ärger, Ärgerregulation, Aggression Summary: In the present study with N = 136 students the relation between two aspects of self-concept, i.e., global self-esteem and firmness facing significant others, and the behaviour in an experimental anger-provoking situation was examined. The self-concept and habitual anger behaviour were measured one week before the experimental provocation. To provoke anger, participants were blamed for a computer crash which in fact was not their fault. After the anger induction, emotional reactions, anger-related reactions, goals, and evaluations of the behaviour were assessed using questionnaires. The results show that regarding to habitual anger behaviour high self-esteem and firmness were related to a lower proneness towards anger-in. In the actual anger-provoking situation self-esteem was associated neither with self-reported anger-related reactions nor goals. However, high firmness was related to less submissive and ruminative behaviour as well as a lower intention to avoid conflicts and a higher intention to assert personal standards. The results are discussed with regard to the controversial relation between self-esteem, anger, and aggression.

“…Anger expression has been defined as a behavioral response to anger (Nunn & Thomas, 1999). The feeling of anger varies according to the way it is express (Arslan, 2010), and people may deal with or express their anger in various adaptive or maladaptive ways (Choi, Kim, Shin, & Cho, 2001), and unhealthy anger expression is linked to numerous physical and mental illnesses.…”

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the characteristics of anger expression in middle-aged Korean women by categorizing their patterns of expression while considering the complexity and multidimensionality of anger, and by investigating the characteristics relative to the patterns. Methods: The research design was a descriptive design using Q methodology, which is a method of measuring subjectivity. A convenience sample of 42 participants aged 40-60 years and living in the community in Korea was recruited. The PC-QUANL software program (a factor analysis program for the Q technique) was used to analyze the Q-sort data. Results: Four factors were extracted that described different expressions of anger among middleaged Korean women; these factors explained 50.1% of the total variance. The frames of reference of the four factors were a) direct diversion, b) silent masking with remaining anger, c) self digestion, and d) controlling anger with objectification. Conclusion: In this study has identified patterns and characteristics of anger expression among middle-aged Korean women were identified, which will aid the development of effective anger-management programs for controlling anger in this population. In future studies, it would be helpful to investigate how the patterns of anger expression established herein are associated with specific health problems such as cardiovascular disorder and cancer.
