    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Personality Psychology
    • Social Psychology

    Background:

    • Anger arousal is a significant emotional state with potential links to personality traits.
    • Understanding these connections can inform psychological assessments and interventions.
    • Previous research suggests a relationship between emotional regulation and personality, but specific links to anger arousal require further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate personality differences between individuals with high, medium, and low levels of anger arousal.
    • To determine if specific personality traits, as measured by the California Psychological Inventory, are associated with varying degrees of anger expression or experience.

    Main Methods:

    • A sample of 150 male and female college students was recruited.
    • Participants were categorized into high, medium, and low scorers based on two anger assessment tools: the Anger Self-Report and the Anger Inventory.
    • Selected participants (91 from Anger Self-Report, 90 from Anger Inventory) were administered the California Psychological Inventory for personality assessment.

    Main Results:

    • High-anger-arousal subjects demonstrated significantly lower scores in socialization, self-control, tolerance, psychological-mindedness, and flexibility.
    • Low-anger-arousal subjects exhibited lower scores in self-acceptance.
    • Conversely, low-anger-arousal subjects scored higher on responsibility, socialization, and good impression measures.

    Conclusions:

    • Personality traits are demonstrably linked to an individual's level of anger arousal.
    • Individuals with higher anger arousal may struggle with impulse control and social adaptability.
    • Lower anger arousal appears associated with greater self-awareness, responsibility, and positive social presentation.
