本研究比较了一个问卷调查方法，面试方法的愤怒评估预测反应的压力源，并探讨了愤怒的表达和反应的压力源之间可能存在的关联。对40名血压正常的受试者进行了5min心算任务前后的血压、心率和血浆儿茶酚胺的测定。问卷调查和面试的愤怒分数相关（p=0.03）。向外表达的愤怒与较低的心率（p=0.005）和去甲肾上腺素（p=0.01）对应激源的反应性相关。结果表明，自我报告问卷可能是一个可靠的和廉价的方式来评估愤怒的背景下的反应，压力和愤怒的表达，特别是愤怒表达向外，可能与降低心率和去甲肾上腺素反应。愤怒的表达和对压力源的反应之间的关系可能会提供深入了解愤怒，血压和心血管疾病发病率之间的联系机制。
This study compared a questionnaire method to an interview method of anger assessment in predicting reactivity to a stressor and explored possible associations between anger expression and reactivity to a stressor. Blood pressure, heart rate and plasma catecholamines were measured in 40 normotensive subjects before and after a 5 min mental arithmetic task. The questionnaire and interview anger scores were related (p=0.03). Anger expressed outward was associated with lower heart rate (p=0.005) and norepinephrine (p=0.01) reactivity to the stressor. The results suggests that self report questionnaires may be a reliable and inexpensive way to evaluate anger in the context of reactivity to stressors and that anger expression, particularly anger expressed outward, may be related to decreased heart rate and norepinephrine reactivity. The relationship between anger expression and reactivity to stressors may provide insight into the mechanisms linking anger, blood pressure and incidence of cardiovascular disease.
