Abstract

This article reports on the validation of the Korean version of the Anger Discomfort Scale (ADS-K) in samples comprising college students and community-based adults living in South Korea (n = 765). The Anger Discomfort Scale (ADS) is a 15-item scale designed to assess levels of discomfort associated with both the experience and expression of anger in interpersonal contexts. For psychometric property testing, survey data were analyzed with advanced multivariate methods, focusing on aspects of validity and reliability. The properties of the total scores are examined by descriptive statistics. The results of exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis identified the structure of the ADS-K as a well-defined bi-factor model. Correlational analyses indicated that anger discomfort was positively associated with anger suppression, anger expression, trait anxiety, and constructs related to anxiety in interpersonal relationships (e.g., fear of evaluation by others and expectations of negative interpersonal results). Implications for the use of the ADS-K and future directions are suggested.

韩国版愤怒不适量表的验证

本文报告了韩国版愤怒不适感量表（ADS-K）在韩国大学生和社区成年人样本（n = 765）中的验证情况。愤怒不适感量表（ADS）由 15 个项目组成，旨在评估人际交往中与愤怒体验和表达相关的不适感程度。为了测试其心理特性，我们采用先进的多元方法对调查数据进行了分析，重点关注其有效性和可靠性。总分的属性通过描述性统计进行检验。探索性因子分析和确认性因子分析的结果表明，ADS-K 的结构是一个定义明确的双因子模型。相关分析表明，愤怒不适与愤怒抑制、愤怒表达、特质焦虑以及与人际关系焦虑相关的建构（如害怕他人评价和对人际关系负面结果的预期）呈正相关。本文提出了使用 ADS-K 的启示和未来发展方向。
