Anger Expressions

In this research, Muay Thai athletes who are university students have been examined by evaluating trait anger and anger expressions in terms of some variables. One hundred and ninety-five Muay Thai Athletes from Turkey Muay Thai Championship between universities volunteered for the study. “The Trait Anger and Anger Expression Scales” by Spielberger was used to determine the trait anger and anger expression styles of participants. Kruskal Wallis H and Mann Whitney U tests were applied for statistical analysis and comparison of variables. According to the general results of the study; for Anger/In subscale, male athletes had higher points than female athletes. The mothers of high school graduates have higher Anger-In scores than whose mothers had university graduate, and whose father had high school graduate, than in athletes, whose father had primary school graduate. It was found that athletes, whose mothers had secondary school graduate, had higher anger/out subscale points than athletes, whose mothers had primary school graduate and university graduate. Anger/in subscale points of athletes, who had 9 years and more of sport experience, were higher than athletes, who had a lower of sport experience. Those with 3–4 years of sport experience had higher anger/out subscale points than those with 1–2 years and 9 years and more of sport experience. Those with 9 years and more had higher anger-control subscale points than those with a lower of sport experience. There was no significant difference in trait anger and anger/in subscales points between athletes joined international tournaments and who did not. There was a significant different in anger/out and anger/control subscales points between athletes joined international tournaments and who did not. As a result, Muay Thai athletes, who are university students, have differences in the forms of trait anger and anger expressions in the dimensions of family (parents’ education level), sporting time and participation in international competitions, the positive incentives of the family to sports, the experiences of the individual in the field of sports and the sense of self-realization have been evaluated that they have a motivational and positive effect on managing, controlling, or suppressing anger.

Itikaf (seclusion in a mosque) is prayer maintained with deep hunger during Ramadan, the month of fasting. Hunger has a positive psychological impact on people. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of itikaf on spirituality and mental health by examining its effects on anger control and subjective well-being. This experimenal study investigates the effects and changes on trait anger, intrinsic religiousness, and subjective well-being during the period of itikaf on healthy adults practicing itikaf worship. While a statistically significant difference exists between the State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory and Subjective Well-Being Inventory scores collected before and after the itikaf (p < 0.05), no statistically significant difference has been found for the scores from the Intrinsic Religiousness Scale before and after the itikaf (p > 0.05). At the end of itikaf, anger-control scores were observed to increase as anger scores decreased. A significant difference has been observed in the Subjective Well-Being Inventory and State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory posttests in terms of the duration of the fast. Itikaf has been found to have positive psychological effects due to being an intensive worship program.

Aim: The aim of the research was to evaluate the antifungal activities of the leaf extracts of Senna alata and Lawsonia inermis on Malassezia spp. isolated from the scalps of primary school pupils and Bingham University students. Place and Duration of the Study: This study was carried out in the department of Biological sciences, Bingham University Karu Nasarawa state between July to September, 2017. Methodology: The plant species Senna alata and Lawsonia inermis was collected from Garki district of the Federal Capital Territory Abuja and Sayina village of Auta-balefi Karu Local Government Area of Nasarawa state respectively. These plant species were identified by plant experts in the Department of Biological Sciences, Bingham University, using characteristic features of the leaves such as the shapes, sizes and flower corresponding to the herbarium specimens. Other features included plant height, fruits type, nature of the branches, colour of the stems, present or absence of spines, and number of flowers etc. Senna alata and Lawsonia inermis plants extracts were obtained by maceration in 80% ethanol, soaking and boiling of the powdered leaves of the plants respectively. A total of 83 dandruff scrapings were collected from both the pupils of Kodope primary school and Bingham University students. The identification of Malassezia species was made microscopically by methylene blue staining and wet mounting. Each slide was examined under high power field microscope (40X objective) to detect the presence of hyphae and budding yeast cells.  The positive samples were cultured on Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA) plates and incubated at 37°C for 3-5 days. Fungal growth was observed. Gram’s staining procedure and biochemical tests such as catalase test, bile Esculin test and Tween assimilation test using Tween 20 and 80 was carried out. The evaluation of the antifungal effects of Senna alata and Lawsonia inermis on Malassezia sp. was carried out using the well diffusion method. Results: Out of 83 samples analyzed, 21 were positive for Malassezia spp.  Three (3) species were identified and isolated; namely Malassezia restricta, Malassezia globosa and Malassezia furfur. The antifungal effects of the plant extracts revealed that the Malassezia species were susceptible to the ethanolic extract of Senna alata with a mean zone of inhibition 11.00± 0.969. The Aqueous   extracts of Senna alata showed significant antifungal effect on the fungi with mean zone of inhibition 10.00± 0.969 when compared to the control, while the boiled extract had no effect. The ethanolic extract of Lawsonia inermis was the only extract recorded to have antifungal effect on the fungi, with mean zone of inhibition 7.71±0.876. The relationship between of Malassezia infection with age, gender, and institutions was determined by Chi-square test through the use of statistical package for social science (SPSS). There was no significant difference in Malassezia infection between the ages (P=0.189) as well as gender (P=0.367). However, the distribution of infection between the institutions shows a significant difference (p=0.043). Conclusion: This study reveals that naturally acquired herbs of S. alata especially and L. inermis may be effective in combating Malassezia species which are the causative agents of dandruff and hence, the use of naturally acquired herbs should be encouraged in combating dandruff.

Anger and aggression in school children are a major concern in American society today. Students with high anger levels and poor cognitive processing skills are at risk for poor relationships, underachievement in school, and health problems. This article describes characteristics of children who are at risk for high anger levels and aggression as well as those who are able to modulate their anger. Results of a survey are reported which describe levels of anger in 624 rural high school students. This sample reported lower levels of anger, compared to the normative group. Differences among the sample include higher internal anger expression in girls, higher trait anger in boys ages 15–16, and higher trait anger in girls ages 16–17. Recommendations are made for future research and specific steps that school nurses can take.

Objectives Vascular access is a lifeline for the patients who are in need of long-term hemodialysis. Native arteriovenous fistula is the most intensively preferred vascular access method owing to its longevity and convenience of use. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to determine whether there might be a relationship between hemodialysis patients’ educational levels and arteriovenous fistula patency. Methods A total of 349 patients who were attending in a chronic hemodialysis program between June 2018 and September 2018 at Bursa Uludağ University, Faculty of Medicine Dialysis Unit and in a private dialysis center in İstanbul were included in this study. The patients were grouped into two: those who have had arteriovenous fistula primary failure at least once and those who have never had arteriovenous fistula primary failure. Educational levels of the patients were classified according to Turkish National Education system (illiterate, primary school graduate, secondary school graduate, high school graduate, and university graduate). Mann–Whitney U and Chi-square tests were performed for statistical analyses. Risk factors were determined by applying backward binary logistic regression analysis. Results A total of 349 patients, 161 (46.1%) females and 188 (53.9%) males, were examined retrospectively. The median age of the patients was 64 years (range: 18–90 years). Educational level comparison revealed statistically significant difference in terms of fistula patency ( p = 0.016). In particular, fistula patency was significantly lower in illiterate, primary, secondary, and high school graduates in comparison with university graduates ( p = 0.001, p = 0.015, p = 0.003, and p = 0.018, respectively). When each group of educational level was analyzed separately in terms of fistula patency, it was observed that the higher the educational level was, the lower arteriovenous fistula primary failure rates were. Conclusions In this study, we observed a lower rate of fistula patency in patients with a low level of education. Hence, we are of the opinion that the trainings delivered on arteriovenous fistula care in dialysis centers are required to be shaped in accordance with educational levels of patients.

This study aimed to develop an emotion management program for late adolescent males, and investigate the effect of the program. This study is an experimental study using a pretest-posttest control group design. It was conducted from 14 May to 21 December, 2018 at a male high school in Korea. It analyzed 52 participants (26 in the experimental group and 26 in the control group.) Regarding subjective happiness, there was a significant difference between groups (t = 3.409, p = 0.001). In anger control ability and gratitude, there was no significant difference between groups (t = 0.332, p = 0.740/ z = 0.528, p = 0.599). This program for emotion management, which is based on the broaden-and-build theory, can improve subjective happiness, anger control ability, and gratitude, by reinforcing appreciation skills and anger awareness and self-expression in male high school students.

Psychology Literature

The State Trait Anger Expression Inventory-2 (STAXI-2) is one of the most widely used anger assessments in the clinical psychology literature. It describes multiple facets of anger including: state/trait anger levels, experience of anger, anger expression, and anger control. Prior to this study, normative data was lacking for college athletes. Without normative data established, it was difficult to accurately compare the scores of college athletes to a relevant comparison group, and thus, difficult to effectively assess athletes presenting with anger issues. This study provides normative data for college athletes (N = 534), as well as an examination of anger differences between gender and compared with a “non-specfic adult” population. Male college athletes scores indicated higher anger levels on several scales, demonstrating scores indicative of being more likely to express anger and less likely to manage feeling angry and expressing anger than both the normal population and female college athletes.

This study compared three groups of people: (a) high trait anger individuals who recognized personal anger problems (HR); (b) high trait anger individuals who did not recognize personal anger problems (HNR); and (c) low trait anger individuals not reporting personal anger problems (LNR). Compared to LNR participants, HR and HNR groups reported more anger-out (i.e., outward negative expression of anger such as arguing with others), anger-in (i.e., anger suppression and harboring grudges), greater desire to use and actual use of physically aggressive anger expression (e.g., pushing or shoving someone), and less anger control-in (i.e., emotionally focused strategies to lower anger such as relaxation) and anger control-out (i.e., behaviorally focused strategies such as being patient with others). HR individuals reported more trait anger (i.e., higher propensity to experience anger) and less anger control-out than the HNR group. Gender did not relate to the recognition of anger problems. Findings were discussed with regard to theory and clinical implications.
