Aggression01:47

Aggression

28.8K
Humans engage in aggression when they seek to cause harm or pain to another person. Aggression takes two forms depending on one’s motives: hostile or instrumental. Hostile aggression is motivated by feelings of anger with intent to cause pain; a fight in a bar with a stranger is an example of hostile aggression. In contrast, instrumental aggression is motivated by achieving a goal and does not necessarily involve intent to cause pain (Berkowitz, 1993); a contract killer who murders for...

Coping Strategies: Emotion Focused01:20

Coping Strategies: Emotion Focused

201
Emotion-focused coping refers to a set of strategies aimed at managing the emotional impact of stressors, rather than directly addressing their causes. This approach involves altering one's emotional response to stressful situations to reduce their psychological effects. For example, individuals might talk with a friend or engage in activities like journaling to express their feelings. Such actions can help achieve emotional clarity or release, providing the psychological stability needed...

Coping Strategies: Problem Focused01:27

Coping Strategies: Problem Focused

221
Coping strategies are methods people use to manage, tolerate, or reduce the effects of stressors. These strategies involve both behavioral and psychological actions to handle stressful situations. One common approach is problem-focused coping, which aims to change or eliminate the source of stress rather than merely addressing its consequences. This method involves taking direct action to resolve the issue causing stress.
For example, consider a student who struggles to understand their...

Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy01:24

Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy

159
Cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBTs) are grounded in the belief that our thoughts profoundly influence our emotions and actions. Advocates of CBT emphasize three core assumptions: first, that cognitions are identifiable and measurable; second, that they are central to psychological functioning; and third, that irrational or maladaptive beliefs can be replaced with rational and adaptive ones. This transformative approach to therapy has paved the way for specific models such as Albert...

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Psychometrics

Background:

  • Existing anger assessment tools lack comprehensive psychometric quality, clinical utility, and content coverage.
  • There is a need for a brief, clinically relevant anger scale suitable for routine practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate the Clinically Useful Anger Outcome Scale (CUANGOS).
  • To create a brief, accessible anger measure for clinical populations.
  • To ensure the scale assesses clinically relevant anger aspects and performs well across diverse patient groups.

Main Methods:

  • Development and validation using data from 2710 psychiatric outpatients and 1397 partial hospitalization patients.
  • Item selection based on psychometric properties and discriminant validity from other emotional dysfunctions.
  • Reliability and validity analyses including internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and discriminant validity from depression and anxiety measures.

Main Results:

  • A 5-item scale, CUANGOS, was developed with high internal consistency and test-retest reliability.
  • CUANGOS demonstrated excellent discriminant validity from depression and anxiety measures.
  • Scores strongly correlated with clinician ratings of anger and differentiated across severity levels, with higher scores in patients with anger-related disorders.

Conclusions:

  • The CUANGOS is a reliable and valid measure for assessing anger in clinical populations.
  • The scale is brief and feasible for integration into routine clinical practice.
  • CUANGOS offers a clinically useful tool for anger assessment and management.
