愤怒反应的背景维度（DAR-5）是一个简短的评估愤怒体验的五项工具。我们的目标是在社区中验证DAR-5作为筛查工具。方法对368名在门诊门诊就诊的表面健康成人进行DAR-5量表、Spielberger状态-特质愤怒表达量表（STAXI）、Beck焦虑量表（BAI）和患者健康问卷（PHQ-9）的自我报告。计算了信度和效度指标，以证明DAR-5的性能。结果根据DAR-5，大约一半的受访者发现自己对人或情况感到愤怒，并报告说愤怒的持续时间。对他人的敌意是最不常见的愤怒（8.4%）。结果表明，DAR-5与BAI、PHQ-9具有显著的相关性。在验证性因子分析中，通过显着拟合统计证实了愤怒体验的一维结构。分界点8分是区分愤怒案例的最佳阈值，与性别无关。结论：DAR-5的简便性，以及其成本效益的适用性，使该测量工具成为一种有用的工具，可用于普通人群愤怒反应的常规评估。
Background Dimensions of Anger Reactions (DAR-5) is a brief 5-item instrument to assess experience of anger. We aimed to verify the DAR-5 as a screening instrument in the community. Methods A sample of 368 apparently healthy adults who attended an outpatient ambulatory facility self-reported on the DAR-5 scale, the Spielberger's State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory (STAXI), the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). Indicators of reliability and validity were calculated to demonstrate the performance of the DAR-5. Results According to the DAR-5, around half the respondents found themselves becoming angry with people or situations and reported persistent duration of anger. Antagonism towards others was the least frequently experienced anger (8.4%). The DAR-5 was found to be reliable and stable, showing a significant correlation with the BAI and PHQ-9 for both sexes. In confirmatory factor analysis, a one-dimensional structure of anger experience was demonstrated through salient fit statistics. A cut-off > 8 was the best threshold against STAXI for discriminating cases of anger, irrespective of sex. Conclusions The shortness of the DAR-5, along with its cost-effective applicability, qualifies this measuring tool as a useful instrument for inclusion in the routine assessment of anger reactions in the general population.
