试图解释儿童和青少年身体抱怨的经历表明，它们可能部分源于应对愤怒的特定策略对负面情绪持续时间的影响。为了探究这些关系，英国（n=393）和荷兰（n=299）的孩子完成了一份修改版的行为愤怒反应问卷（BARQ），以及另外两份评估愤怒情绪和躯体抱怨的问卷。一项分层回归分析显示，在英国和荷兰的样本中，两种应对方式——寻求社会支持和沉思——对身体抱怨起着重要作用，远远超过了愤怒情绪所解释的差异。反复思考或谈论愤怒事件作为应对方式的倾向似乎是观察到的负面健康影响的基础。此外，研究还初步支持更广泛的应对愤怒的策略，而不仅仅是传统研究的愤怒输出和愤怒输入类型。
Attempts to explain the experience of somatic complaints among children and adolescents suggest that they may in part result from the influence of particular strategies for coping with anger on the longevity of negative emotions. To explore these relationships British (n=393) and Dutch (n=299) children completed a modified version of the Behavioral Anger Response Questionnaire (BARQ), and two additional questionnaires assessing anger mood and somatic complaints. A hierarchical regression analysis showed that for both the UK and Dutch samples two coping styles, Social support-seeking and Rumination, made a significant contribution to somatic complaints, over and above the variance explained by anger mood. A tendency to repeatedly think or talk about an angering event as a way of coping seems to underlie the observed negative health effects. In addition, tentative support is given for a broader range of strategies to cope with anger than just the traditionally studied anger-out and anger-in styles.
