title: Anger arousal and personality characteristics.
abstract: This study examines personality differences between subjects manifesting varying degrees of anger arousal. From a subject pool of 150 male and female college students, 91 high, medium, and low Anger Self-Report scorers and 90 high, medium, and low Anger Inventory scorers were selected for comparison on the California Psychological Inventory. As hypothesized, high-anger-arousal subjects scored lower on socialization, self-control, tolerance, psychological-mindedness, and flexibility. Also, low-anger-arousal subjects scored lower on self-acceptance and higher on responsibility, socialization, and good impression.
