“…It yields two subscales: Anger-In (inhibition of the expression of anger) and Anger-Out (expression of anger as aggressive behavior). In a large community sample, the internal reliabilities for each of the subscales were .73 and .70, respectively (Knight, Chisholm, Pauling, & Waal-Manning, 1988). …”

“…For anxiety and depression one may, for example, use parts of the General Health Questionnaire or the Symptom Check List scales (Koeter 1992); for pain, the Brief Pain Inventory (Breivik et al 2006); and for anger/aggression the Spielberger Anger Expression Scale (Knight et al 1988).…”

Present knowledge on the human brain, and the evolutionary process that shaped it, allow for a biological model for what happiness is about. I shall discuss the assessment of happiness; arguing that based on this model, the focus should be on estimating negative affect. Feelings are a feature introduced by evolution for the purpose of evaluating behavioral options. They tend to be either positive or negative due to their role in directing behavior either toward opportunities or away from danger. Happiness can be construed as the net sum of positive and negative feelings. A salient point is that the evidence suggests the mammalian brain has a positive mood as a default setting, implying that people are reasonably happy as long as punishing circuits are inactive. Activation of negative feelings-particularly in the form of anxiety, depression and pain-is therefore likely to be the main cause of a substandard level of well-being. Consequently, instruments that probe negative affect may offer a reasonable strategy, or at least important additional information, when evaluating happiness. These instruments may also provide a suitable foundation for policy making.

“…Lastly, the two subscales (anger-out and anger-in) of the Spielberger Anger Expression Scale (Spielberger et al, 1985) provided a measure of expression of anger as aggressive behavior and suppression of anger respectively. Internal reliabilities for each of the subscales were reported as .73 and .70, respectively (Knight, Chisholm, Pauling, & Waal-Manning, 1988). …”

Mechanisms of Change in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction: Self-Compassion and Mindfulness as Mediators of Intervention Outcomes

et al. 2012

Research has demonstrated support for the efficacy of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) in alleviating psychological distress and symptoms. Less is known, however, about the mechanisms through which MBSR achieves its outcomes. This study examined mindfulness and self-compassion as potential mediators of MBSR's effects on several processes and behaviors related to emotion regulation, using data from a randomized trial of MBSR versus waitlist (WL), in which MBSR participants demonstrated significantly greater improvements in worry, fear of emotion, difficulties in emotion regulation, suppression of anger, and aggressive anger expression. Mediation analysis using bootstrap resampling indicated that increases in self-compassion mediated MBSR's effects on worry, controlling for change in mindfulness. Increases in mindfulness mediated the intervention's effects on difficulties in emotion regulation, controlling for change in self-compassion. Both variables mediated MBSR's effects on fear of emotion. These findings highlight the importance of mindfulness and self-compassion as key processes of change that underlie MBSR's outcomes.
