Anger and subsequent aggression have been recorded in a number of murders and physical attacks at home and in academic settings. Murder is the leading cause of death for African American males between the ages of 15 and 34. This project will explore the level and range of anger expression among young, male, African-American college students, from 17 to 25. Specific aims of this study are to collect data regarding the pattern of distribution of anger levels amongst African American male college students; investigate the relationship between anger and negative, overt behaviors displayed in the academic setting; and, measure the effects of a psycho-educational program designed to lower anger expression. 60-75 African American male students will be assessed each semester for 10 semesters. The assessment process will consist of completing self-report and interview measures of anger expression, racial identify, anger-in, and anger- out, and alcohol and drug usage. Those students in the significantly high range of anger expression will be asked to participate in a psycho- educational program designed to lower the cognitive and physiological effects of anger. Regression equations will be conducted to determine the effect of anger expression on behavior negatively impacting academic performance. In addition, a MANOVA will examine differences between racial identify on a number of anger and behavioral measures. Finally, a repeated-measures ANOVA will explore differences pre- and post- for the students participating in the psycho-educational program.

在家里和学术环境中的许多谋杀和身体攻击中都记录了愤怒和随后的侵略。谋杀是15至34岁之间的非裔美国人男性死亡的主要原因。该项目将探讨17至25岁的年轻，男性，非裔美国人大学生的愤怒表达水平和范围。这项研究的具体目的是收集有关非裔美国男性大学生愤怒水平分布模式的数据；研究在学术环境中显示的愤怒与负面的公开行为之间的关系；并且，测量旨在降低愤怒表达的心理教育计划的影响。每学期将评估60-75名非裔美国学生学生10个学期。评估过程将包括完成自我报告和访谈愤怒表达，种族认同，愤怒和愤怒以及酒精和毒品的措施。那些处于愤怒表达范围很高的学生将被要求参加一项旨在降低愤怒的认知和生理影响的心理教育计划。将进行回归方程，以确定愤怒表达对对学业表现产生负面影响的行为的影响。此外，Manova将检查种族识别在许多愤怒和行为措施上的差异。最后，反复测量方差分析将为参加心理教育计划的学生探索差异。
