Explanation of Facets:
Anger Arousal
Anger arousal denotes the
frequency, magnitude and duration
of a person’s angry responses.
People who score high on anger
arousal are quick to escalate from
their normal state to the state of
anger. Their anger usually has an
a!ective charge, and they may
experience their own anger and the
bodily sensations that accompany it
as overwhelming.
Anger Spectrum
Anger spectrum refers to the scope
and breadth of situations that are
likely to trigger an angry response in
the person. People who score high
on this dimension are capable of
letting their frustrations turn into
anger when faced with a wide range
of situations. Note that this range
only indicates the variety of
situations that are likely to make the
person angry, and not the intensity
or magnitude of that person’s anger
(that is denoted by Anger Arousal).
Hostile Outlook
People who score high on hostile
outlook view the world in a cynical,
suspicious and mistrustful way. They
have an easy time attributing ill
intentions to others, and often
assume that others are lying or do
not have their best interests at heart.
People who are characterized by a
hostile outlook usually experience a
wide range of anger cognitions, but
not necessarily anger emotions.
External Anger
External anger refers to a person's
tendency to take their anger out on
their surroundings. Because this
type of anger is so evident to others,
people who score high on external
anger are usually known for their
temper. Their propensity to vent
their anger externally may cause
others to submit to or accommodate
them, but on the other hand, it may
also cause people to withdraw from
them and keep them at a distance.
Internal Anger
Internal anger denotes a person's
tendency to keep their anger on the
inside without making their
surroundings aware of that anger.
People who score high on internal
anger tend to feel guilt over
expressing their anger, but at the
same time may also blame
themselves in their thoughts for
failing to express that they are angry.
As a consequence, they often have
trouble enforcing reasonable
boundaries in their relations with
others.
Total Score
Your total score, indicating your total
predisposition for, and susceptibility
to, anger. Higher scores indicate
greater problems with anger.
