The authors conducted a comprehensive review to understand the relation between personality and aggressive behavior, under provoking and nonprovoking conditions. The qualitative review revealed that some personality variables influenced aggressive behavior under both neutral and provocation conditions, whereas others influenced aggressive behavior only under provocation. Studies that assessed personality variables and that directly measured aggressive behavior were included in the quantitative review. Analyses revealed that trait aggressiveness and trait irritability influenced aggressive behavior under both provoking and neutral conditions but that other personality variables (e.g., trait anger, Type A personality, dissipation-rumination) influenced aggressive behavior only under provoking conditions. The authors discuss possible relations between these patterns of aggressive behavior and the personality dimensions of Agreeableness and Neuroticism and consider implications for theories of aggression.Keywords: aggressive behavior, personality traits, Agreeableness, NeuroticismWith a few notable exceptions (e.g., Freud, 1929Freud, /1962, early theorizing and research on aggressive behavior focused on the effects of situational factors (e.g., Bandura, 1973;Dollard, Doob, Miller, Mowrer, & Sears, 1939). Empirical studies and metaanalytic reviews have shown that the presence of violent cues (e.g.,

“…The reliability and validity findings presented in the present investigation appear to provide preliminary evidence that encourages the use of the Clinical Anger Scale among both researchers and mental health practitioners. For example, this assessment instrument could be used in the context of a stress inoculation approach to anger (Novaco, 1975(Novaco, , 1977(Novaco, , 1979, research on the interpersonal expression of anger (Holt, 1970;Spielberger et al, 1985), an examination of the role of anger in hypertension and coronary heart disease (Diamond, 1982;Musante, MacDougall, Dembroski, & Costa, 1989;Spielberger et al, 1985;Yuen & Kuiper, 1991), therapeutic work concerned with violent behavior (Rothenberg,197 l), the therapeutic treatment of clinical anger (Deffenbacher, McNamara, Stark, & Sabadell, 1990;Deffenbacher, Story, Start, Hogg, & Brandon, 1987;Hazaleus & Deffenbacher, 1986), and the study of gender-related aggressiveness and anger (Frodi, Macaulay, & Thome, 1977;Smith et al, 1989).…”

The clinical anger scale: Preliminary reliability and validity

This article reports preliminary evidence for the development and validation of the Clinical Anger Scale (CAS), an objective self‐report instrument designed to measure the syndrome of clinical anger. Factor analysis of the CAS confirmed a unidimensional item structure; reliability analyses also demonstrated adequate internal consistency and test‐retest stability for the CAS; other results indicated that the CAS was unrelated to social desirability influences. Additional findings indicated that clinical anger was associated positively with several anger‐related concepts (e.g., trait anger, state anger, anger‐in, anger‐out, anger‐control) and that the CAS was related in predictable ways to people's psychopathological symptoms, personality traits, and early family environments. Implications for future research and therapeutic assessment with the Clinical Anger Scale are discussed.

“…Studies have suggested that stress, whether related to low socioeconomic status, discrimination, or other factors, has a detrimental effect on the body and increases the risk of a number of physiological conditions, including hypertension (Webb & Beckstead, 2005), coronary heart disease (Bongard, al'Absi & Lovallo, 1997;Miguel-Tobal, Casado, Cano-Vindel, & Spielberger, 1997;Suarez & Williams, 1989;Warren-Findlow, 2006;Yuen & Kuiper, 1991), cancer (Andersen, Farrar, & Golden-Kreutz, 1998), and obesity (Robert & Reither, 2004;Wamala, Wolk, & Orth-Gomer, 1997), among others. Thomas (1995) suggested that individuals trying to regulate the internal emotional discomfort associated with anger often engage in self-defeating, unhealthy behaviors such as overeating, drinking, and smoking.…”

African American women find themselves at a high risk of experiencing feelings of powerlessness associated with socioeconomic disparities rooted in a history of racism and sexism. The authors present a conceptual model that discusses powerlessness as a significant variable that contributes to the experience of anger and stress in African American women, and consequently to the adverse health consequences of such anger and stress. The authors review the current literature as well as census and health statistics to discern critical historical, social, and cognitive aspects of powerlessness and anger in African American women. Implications for practitioners are addressed.
