“…Previous studies have highlighted negative associations between hostility and mental health (Ahmed, Kingston, DiGiuseppe, Bradford, & Seto, 2012; Miller et al, 1995; Posternak & Zimmerman, 2002; Stewart et al, 2010). For example, results of prior studies indicate symptoms of anger and aggression are common among mentally ill patients (Posternak & Zimmerman, 2002).…”

“…There is also evidence that relationships between hostility and mental health outcomes vary as a function of emotional expression. For example, prior studies have shown that distinct patterns of anger expression relate to the prevalence of mental illness diagnoses among hostile individuals (Ahmed et al, 2012; Kopper & Epperson, 1996). Similarly, other studies have shown that mode of expression can influence physical health parameters.…”

“…This may have affected results as individual components of hostility may have differential associations with health outcomes (Dujovne & Houston, 1991; Richards, Hof, & Alvarenga, 2000) as well as with depression and anxiety (Smith et al, 2010). Further, variations in anger expression tendencies have been shown to relate to mental (Ahmed et al, 2012; Kopper & Epperson, 1996) and physical health outcomes (Davidson et al, 2000; Davidson & Mostofsky, 2010). …”

Objective The purpose of this study was to determine if hostility is associated with physical and mental health-related quality of life (QoL) in U.S. Hispanics/Latinos after accounting for depression and anxiety. Methods Analyses included 5,313 adults (62% women, 18–75 years) who completed the ancillary sociocultural assessment of the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos. Participants completed the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale, Spielberger Trait Anxiety Scale, Spielberger Trait Anger Scale, Cook-Medley Hostility cynicism subscale, and Short Form Health Survey. In a structural regression model, associations of hostility with mental and physical QoL were examined. Results In a model adjusting for age, sex, disease burden, income, education and years in the U.S., hostility was related to worse mental QoL, and was marginally associated with worse physical QoL. However, when adjusting for the influence of depression and anxiety, greater hostility was associated with better mental QoL, and was not associated with physical QoL. Conclusions Results indicate observed associations between hostility and QoL are confounded by symptoms of anxiety and depression, and suggest hostility is independently associated with better mental QoL in this population. Findings also highlight the importance of differentiating shared and unique associations of specific emotions with health outcomes.

“…However, comparing personality traits in transsexuals with studies conducted by others using clinical psychiatric samples (obsessive-compulsive disorder, substance dependence, etc. ), the percentage of personality disorder traits is generally higher in clinical populations than in transsexuals (Ahmed, Kingston, DiGiuseppe, Bradford, & Seto, 2012;Bricolo, Gomma, Bertani, & Serpelloni, 2002;Huh et al, 2013). The differences between transsexuals and control population could be explained by the high levels of depression and social integration difficulties that transsexuals experienced in their lives.…”

This study examined the sociodemographic characteristics and the psychological adjustment of transsexuals in Andalusia (Spain), and also analyzed the differences between female-to-male (FtM) and male-to-female (MtF) transsexuals. The sample included 197 transsexuals (101 MtF and 96 FtM) selected from those who visited the Transsexual and Gender Identity Unit at the Carlos Haya Hospital in Malaga between 2011 and 2012. Our analyses indicated that MtF transsexuals were more likely to have lower educational levels, live alone, have worked less frequently throughout their lifetime, and have engaged in prostitution. For FtM transsexuals, there were more frequent references to the mother's psychiatric history and more social avoidance and distress. Multivariate analysis showed that the number of personality dysfunctional traits and unemployment status were associated with depression in the entire sample. The following three conclusions can be made: there are significant differences between MtF and FtM transsexuals (mainly related to sociodemographic variables), depression was high in both groups, and a remarkable percentage of transsexuals have attempted suicide (22.8 %) or have had suicidal thoughts (52.3 %).

“…But excessive anger can cause problems. Increased blood pressure and other physical changes associated with anger make it difficult to think straight and harm your physical and mental health [1][2]. Three types of anger are recognized by psychologists: The first form of anger, named "hasty and sudden anger", the second type of anger is named "settled and deliberate" anger and the third type of anger is called dispositional anger [3].…”

Introduction:The purpose of this study was to examine the difference in the levels of anger and selfesteem among alcohol addicts and drug addicts. A sample of 60 male substance abusers, out of which 30 were alcohol addicts and the other 30 were drug addicts was taken. They were given two questionnaires i.e. the Clinical Anger Scale (CAS) and Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) and scores on both the scales were thus obtained. It was found that there was no significant difference in the levels of anger among alcohol addicts and drug addicts. It was also found that there was no significant difference in the self-esteem of alcohol addicts and drug addicts. Methodology:The researcher made use of Random Sampling during the present study, which comprised of 30 Alcohol Addicts and 30 Drug Addicts. This sample was selected from rehabilitation centers, Alcohol Anonymous Groups, and hospitals. The sample of Alcohol Addicts and Drug Addicts were taken to be in the age range of 16 to 65 years. The following hypotheses were tested in the study-There is a significant difference in the levels of anger between Alcohol Addicts and Drug Addicts; and there is a significant difference in the levels of self-esteem between Alcohol Addicts and Drug Addicts. Results: The result of the t-test draws to a conclusion that the obtained value is lesser than the table value. The Mean for Alcohol Addicts was 22.23 while that for Drug Addicts was 27.36. There is a difference between the Means of the two groups the data is in the expected direction. A t-test was conducted to carry out further statistical analysis to find out if there was a significant difference between the two means of the groups. The obtained t value was 1.49. Conclusion:The first hypothesis stated that there is a significant difference in the levels of anger between Alcohol Addicts and Drug Addicts and the second hypothesis stated that there is a significant difference in the levels of self-esteem between Alcohol Addicts and Drug Addicts-data was not found to be supportive of both these hypotheses. The findings suggest that both the alternate hypotheses were rejected as the obtained t-value was less than the table value at 0.05 level of significance, with df 58. Thus, the level of anger and level of self esteem are subjective to various reasons among Alcohol and Drug Addicts.
