  • Individuals who typically discussed their anger showed significant differences in systolic and diastolic blood pressure, body mass index, aerobic exercise levels, perceived health importance, and perceived health status compared to those who did not.
  • Anger discussion was inversely correlated with women's overall stress assessment and perceived stress at home and work.

Conclusions:

  • Talking about anger appears to be a health-promoting behavior, potentially more beneficial than suppression or outward venting.
  • The findings highlight gender-specific differences in stress and anger discussion, suggesting tailored interventions may be necessary.
