Faith Courtauld Unit以前的工作描述了乳腺癌的诊断与抑制愤怒的明显倾向之间的联系，特别是在年轻患者中。对71例乳腺活检前患者进行了详细的研究，采用结构化访谈、艾森克个性问卷（EPQ）和Spielberger状态-特质焦虑量表（STAI）。访谈的录音记录，独立评级，使用修订后的愤怒评级量表，再次证明了良性乳腺疾病患者和乳腺癌患者之间的愤怒表达的显着差异。癌症患者的平均EPQ神经质评分显著较低。除年轻癌症患者外，所有患者的STAI A状态和A特质焦虑评分均显著高于标准评分。2个诊断组变量之间的相关性模式不同，这表明癌症患者因即将进行的活检而更有压力，年轻的癌症患者比其他患者更有可能在面对压力时使用否认。
Previous work from the Faith Courtauld Unit described an association between the diagnosis of breast cancer and an apparent tendency to suppression of anger, particularly in younger patients. A detailed study of this phenomenon has been carried out in 71 patients prior to breast biopsy, using structured interviews, the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) and the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Taped transcripts of interviews, independently rated, using a revised anger rating scale, again demonstrated a significant difference between patients with benign breast disease and those with breast cancer in expression of anger. The mean EPQ neuroticism score was significantly lower for cancer patients. STAI A-State and A-Trait anxiety scores were significantly higher than standard scores for all patients other than young cancer patients. The pattern of correlation between variables differed for the 2 diagnostic groups suggesting that cancer patients are more stressed by impending biopsy and that young cancer patients are more likely than other patients to use denial in the face of stress.
