ABSTRACT
In recent years research efforts have focused increasingly on anger arousal and expression. Such research has important implications for the study of anger as an instigator of aggression (Konecni, 1975; Zillman, 1978); the anger-prone personality (Novaco, 1977); the relationship between anger inhibition and some psychosomatic disorders (Holt, 1970); anger related disorders, such as depression (Novaco, 1977); and interpersonal relationships fraught with anger related communication problems (Holt, 1970). Of course, reliable study of anger arousal and expression is predicated on the availability of adequate means of anger assessment.
