Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Cross-cultural psychology
  • Psychometrics

Background:

  • The State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory (STAXI) is a widely used measure of anger.
  • Previous research has established its internal consistency and conceptual validity in American samples.
  • The STAXI assesses immediate anger experiences, long-term anger dispositions, and anger expression modes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present initial data on a Russian version of the STAXI.
  • To assess the psychometric properties of the STAXI in a Russian sample.
  • To explore the cross-national similarity of anger expression between Russian and American samples.

Main Methods:

  • The study utilized a Russian translation of the STAXI.
  • Participants included 120 students from St. Petersburg University and 31 psychiatric patients from St. Petersburg Top Security Hospital.

  • Internal consistency was assessed using alpha coefficients.

    • Main Results:

    • The Russian version of the STAXI showed good internal consistency for most scales, supporting Spielberger's factorial model.
    • Mean scores on the STAXI scales were generally similar to those found in American subgroups.
    • Russian men scored higher on Anger-Out than Russian women, indicating a potential gender difference in anger expression.

    Conclusions:

    • The findings provide initial support for the validity and reliability of the STAXI in a Russian context.
    • The study suggests potential cross-national similarities in anger expression, particularly between Russian and American samples.
    • Further research with larger, more diverse Russian samples is needed to establish subgroup norms and explore cross-cultural anger dynamics.
