Examined differences between asserters and nonasserters and between the sexes on anger expression. Thirty‐seven male and 53 female college students were administered the College Self‐Expression Scale, the Buss Durkee Hostility Inventory, and the Anger Self Report. As hypothesized, asserters and males expressed more anger and aggression, and nonasserters experienced more covert anger. The clinical/treatment implications of these findings were discussed. A finding discrepant with previous research and the present researchers' expectations, that men scored higher than women on guilt and condemnation of anger, was thought to reflect this study's sample rather than an actual population difference.

“…Test-retest reliability of .82 for the BDHI total score over a 2-week period has been reported (Biaggio, Supple, & Curtis, 1981). Biaggio (1980) found BDHI scores were significantly correlated with anger questionnaires, including the Anger Self-Report (Zelin, Alder, & Myerson, 1972), Reaction Inventory (Evans & Stangeland, 1971), and the Novaco Anger Inventory (Novaco, 1975).

Hostility and Recidivism in Sexual Offenders

In this study, we examined the association of hostility, as measured by the Buss-Durkee Hostility Inventory (BDHI), with offence characteristics and recidivism in 656 adult male sexual offenders. Hostility was significantly associated with having prior violent charges, the use of violence in the index sexual offence, sexual recidivism, and violent recidivism. After controlling for risk level, as measured by a modified version of the Rapid Risk Assessment for Sexual Offence Recidivism (RRASOR-mod), the significant association between hostility and sexual and violent recidivism remained. When examined by type of offender, hostility was significantly associated with recidivism in intrafamilial and extrafamilial child molesters, but not in rapists or mixed offenders. Given the predictive value of hostility independent of the RRASOR-mod, the present findings confirm and encourage treatment efforts directed toward the management of hostility and anger in sexual offenders.

“…The ASR was designed by Zelin, Adler, and Myerson (1972) to assess "awareness of anger" and different modes of anger expression. In validating this scale, they found that the ASR scores of psychiatric patients correlated significantly with psychiatrists' ratings of anger, and that college students' ASR "awareness of anger" scores correlated significantly with acquaintances' peer ratings of angry feelings.…”

In this chapter, Spielberger, Krasner, and Solomon concentrate upon the sensation that is called anger, hostility, or aggression. They liken anger to a state emotion and hostility to a trait, whereas the label aggression is reserved for the behavioral expression of the first two. They refer to the structure of these three concepts as the AHA! Syndrome. The chapter begins with a thorough review of the history of the relationship between anger and psychosomatics. Also featured is a discussion of the role of anger in the Type A behavior pattern and on the nature of anger itself. Following a brief review of the history of attempts to measure hostility and anger, we are introduced to the State-Trait Anger Scale (STAS) developed by Spielberger and his colleagues. The authors then provide an in-depth review ofresearch and thinking on the nature of the expression of anger; that is, whether it is directed inward (suppressed) or outward (expressed). The nature and meaning of the control of anger is also reviewed. We are presented with the principal psychometric data related to the development of the Anger EXpression Scale (AX), which measures anger-in, anger-out, and angercontrol. In concluding, the authors explain the need for scales such as the ST AS and AX and describe their usefulness in individual difference and health research.-EDITOR Anger, hostility, and aggression have long been regarded as important factors in essential hypertension and coronary heart disease (see Diamond, 1982). Almost 50 years ago, Franz Alexander (1939) theorized that the strenuous efforts of hypertensives to suppress their angry feelings resulted in chronic activation of the cardiovascular system, and, eventually, to fixed elevations in blood pressure. Impressive evidence of a strong relationship between suppressed hostility ("anger-in") and hypertension has also been reported by Harburg and his associates (Esler et al., 1977; Gentry, Chesney, M. P. Janisse (ed.), Individual Differences, Stress, and Health Psychology
