Scale Scores

This study provided evidence of reliability and validity for the four scales of the Driving Anger Expression Inventory. Alpha reliabilities for scales ranged from .84 to .89. Measures of aggressive anger expression while driving (Verbal Aggressive Expression, Personal Physical Aggressive Expression, and Use of the Vehicle to Express Anger scales) correlated positively with each other and negatively with the Adaptive/Constructive Expression scale. Scores on the three aggressive forms of anger expression correlated positively with trait anger and measures of driving-related anger, aggression, and risky behavior, whereas scores on the Adaptive/Constructive Expression scale correlated negatively with these variables. Reports of aggressive and risky behavior correlated most strongly with the Use of the Vehicle to Express Anger scale. Forms of anger expression were minimally or uncorrelated with rated trait anxiety and reports of moving violations, close calls, and accidents. Findings replicated earlier findings and provided further evidence for the reliability and validity of the Driving Anger Expression Inventory.

ABSTRACTRecently, we reported that variability in early-life caregiving experiences maps onto individual differences in threat-related brain function. Specifically, we found that greater familial affective responsiveness is associated with increased amygdala reactivity to interpersonal threat, particularly in adolescents having experienced relatively low recent stress. Here, we conceptually replicate and extend on our previous work to provide further evidence that subtle variability in specific features of early caregiving shapes structural and functional connectivity between the amygdala and medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) in a cohort of 312 young adult volunteers. Multiple regression analyses revealed that participants who reported higher maternal but not paternal protection exhibited increased amygdala reactivity to explicit signals of interpersonal threat (i.e., angry facial expressions) but not implicit signals of broad environmental threat (i.e., fearful facial expressions). While amygdala functional connectivity with regulatory regions of the mPFC was not significantly associated with maternal protection, participants who reported higher maternal protection exhibited relatively decreased structural integrity of the uncinate fasciculus (UF), a white matter tract connecting these same brain regions. The observed associations were independent of the potential confounding influences of participant sex, socioeconomic status, and self-reported childhood trauma. There were no significant associations between structural or functional brain measures and either maternal or paternal care ratings. These findings suggest that an over controlling parenting style in mothers during childhood is associated with functional and structural alterations of brain regions involved in generating and regulating responses to threat in young adulthood.

Introduction: Arterial stiffness is an important marker of cardiovascular risk which worsens with acute mental stress. Psychological conditions, particularly depression, have been linked to recurrent cardiac events and death, but the mechanisms are unclear. We examined whether depressive symptoms, anxiety and anger worsen arterial stiffness induced by mental stress. Methods: In 81 subjects with a history of MI in the previous 6 months, we used the SphygmoCor® Pulse Wave Velocity system at rest and 60 minutes after a standardized psychological stress (via speech task) and after a conventional physical (exercise or pharmacological) stress test. The central augmentation index (CAIx) was derived by pulse wave analysis software and the difference between CAIx after each stress condition and the respective resting phase was calculated. Depressive symptoms were assessed with the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), state and trait anxiety with the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and state and trait anger with the State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory (STAXI-II). Linear regression models were used to model the association between change in CAIx with each stress (dependent variable) and BDI total score, anxiety and anger subscales as individual predictors, adjusting for potential confounding factors. Results: Forty-one subjects were ≤ 50 years of age, 41 were female and 46 were non-white. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate significantly increased in response to mental stress (48 ± 23 and 30 ± 13 (mmHg), and 28 ± 18 (bpm); p<0.001 for each), but this increase was not related to psychosocial risk factors. None of the psychosocial risk factors were associated with baseline/resting phase CAix. In unadjusted analysis, BDI total score, trait anger and trait anxiety were all significantly associated with an increase in CAIx with mental stress. After adjustment for demographic factors, CAD risk factors, CAD severity, and hemodynamic changes induced by mental stress, each 1-point increase in the BDI total score was associated with 0.34 units increase in mental stress-induced change in CAIx (95% CI: 0.10 - 0.57, p=0.005). The association did not persist for trait anger and anxiety, however. None of the psychological factors were related to changes in CAIx induced by physical stress. Conclusion: Higher depressive, but not anxiety or anger symptoms are associated with an increase in arterial stiffness during mental stress. This finding may provide a mechanistic link for the association between depression and adverse cardiovascular outcomes.

Bidirectional Association

Introduction: Prior studies have shown a bidirectional association between depression and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM); however, the prospective association of anxiety and anger with T2DM is not established. We hypothesized that trait anxiety and anger would predict incident T2DM, independent of depressive symptoms, in a multi-ethnic cohort. Methods: In the Multi-ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA), we prospectively examined the association of trait anxiety and trait anger (assessed via the Spielberger Trait Anxiety and Trait Anger Scales, respectively) with incident T2DM over 7 years in 5,941 White, Black, Hispanic, and Chinese participants (53.6% women, mean age 61.8 years) at baseline without prevalent T2DM or cardiovascular disease. We used multivariable logistical regression models to calculate the odds ratios (OR) of incident T2DM by anxiety quartile and anger category (low, medium, high). Results: In the minimally adjusted model, compared to quartile 1, the OR for incident T2DM were 1.25 and 1.38 for trait anxiety quartiles 3 and 4, respectively and the OR for incident T2DM was 1.50 for those with high trait anger compared to low trait anger (Table). In both models, these associations were attenuated and became non-significant following additional adjustment for depressive symptoms (modeled as continuous Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression score) and antidepressants. Additional adjustment for socioeconomic, behavioral, metabolic, and inflammatory factors did not change either association (Table). Conclusion: Higher trait anxiety and anger were associated with incident T2DM; however, these associations appeared to be explained by the presence of depressive symptoms and socioeconomic status. These data suggest that the emotional traits of anxiety and anger may impact T2DM risk due to their symptoms overlap with depression.

Behavioural Factors

PurposeThis study aims to investigate the behavioural factors that affect individual investment decisions among Generation Y in Malaysia.Design/methodology/approachFive human behaviours such as trait anger, trait anxiety, overconfidence, herding factor and self-monitoring have been examined using a sample of 502 respondents.FindingsThe results reveal that trait anxiety and overconfidence are negatively related to investment decisions while self-monitoring is positively associated. Trait anger and herding behaviour do not significantly affect investment decision. The results also show that investment decision-making is significantly distinct when examined by gender, employment status and income allocation. Among these three variables, the result shows that only self-employed individuals and those in the 5–10 per cent income allocation group are marginally positive vis-à-vis investment decision-making.Originality/valueThe outcomes of this study will expand investors' knowledge about the financial decision-making process.
