Regulating anger: Cognitive reappraisal, emotional suppression, and post-event rumination

澳大利亚人承受着与无节制的愤怒相关的巨大心理、社会和经济成本。愤怒问题与学习和工作困难、社会关系质量差、酗酒和吸毒、经济和法律困难、心血管疾病过早死亡以及临床显著的心理健康问题有关。愤怒和攻击性还会通过犯罪、家庭暴力和工作场所暴力等方式对社会造成很大伤害。澳大利亚犯罪学研究所估计，澳大利亚每年因性侵犯、性侵犯和杀人案造成的损失超过25亿美元。从这项研究中获得的见解可能有助于改善愤怒的这些负面影响。

Australians bear the substantial psychological, social, and economic costs associated with unrestrained anger. Anger problems are associated with school and work difficulties, poor social relationship quality, alcohol and drug use, financial and legal difficulties, premature cardiovascular mortality, and clinically significant mental health problems. Anger and aggression also cause much harm to society through crime, domestic abuse, and workplace violence among others. The Australian Institute of Criminology estimates the cost of assault, sexual assault, and homicide in Australia at over $2.5 billion per year. The insights gained from this research may help ameliorate these negative consequences of anger.
