Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Cross-cultural psychology

Background:

  • Spielberger's (1988) model of anger is widely used.
  • Previous validation of the Russian State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory (STAXI) showed partial support.
  • Cultural factors may influence anger expression and experience.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To validate a Russian version of the State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory (STAXI).
  • To examine the universality of Spielberger's anger model in a Russian context.
  • To investigate potential cultural differences in state and trait anger.

Main Methods:

  • Administered a newly developed Russian STAXI to 346 high school and medical school students.
  • Utilized factor analysis to assess the instrument's structure.
  • Analyzed scale reliability using Cronbach's alpha and compared means with previous findings.

Main Results:

  • Strong support was found for Spielberger's hypothesized factor structure.
  • All scales demonstrated good to excellent reliability (Cronbach's alpha).
  • Russian samples reported lower levels of state anger compared to previous studies.
  • Data suggest state anger may comprise experience and action tendency subscales.
  • Trait anger relates positively to anger-out and negatively to anger control.

Conclusions:

  • The validated Russian STAXI is a reliable instrument for assessing anger.
  • Findings support the universality of Spielberger's anger model, with cultural nuances.
  • The study highlights potential differences in state anger levels across populations.
  • The instrument can be used for future research on anger in Russian-speaking populations.
