Abstract

Individuals who experience problems with anger represent a heterogeneous group. Identifying clinically relevant subtypes of anger may advance treatment research. In the current study, latent profile analysis (LPA) was conducted to explore if distinct subtypes of anger could be identified within a sample of individuals seeking treatment for maladaptive anger (N = 538; 55.4% females; mean age = 39.78, SD = 12.28). Furthermore, the utility of the empirical classification was examined based on differences in usage of emotion regulation strategies (cognitive reappraisal, expressive suppression, mindful emotion awareness and relaxation) across subtypes. Four anger profiles were identified in the best-fitted LPA model: Low Anger (n = 153, 28.4%), Anger In (n = 91, 16.9%), Moderate Anger (n = 193, 35.9%) and High Anger (n = 101, 35.5%). Results from the multinominal regression revealed that the use of emotion regulation differed across all profiles. Participants from the High Anger and Anger In profiles exhibited distinct patterns of dysfunctional emotion regulation. The results add to the increasing amount of evidence demonstrating a link between emotion regulation strategies and maladaptive anger. Clinical implications on how to tailor treatments for individuals with maladaptive anger are discussed.

寻求不适应愤怒治疗的个体的愤怒概况:与情绪调节的关联

有愤怒问题的个体代表了一个不同的群体。确定临床相关的愤怒亚型可能会推进治疗研究。在本研究中，我们进行了潜在特征分析(LPA)来探索在寻求治疗适应不良愤怒的个体样本中是否可以识别出不同的愤怒亚型(N = 538;55.4%的女性;平均年龄= 39.78,SD = 12.28)。此外，基于情绪调节策略(认知重评、表达抑制、正念情绪意识和放松)的使用差异，研究了实证分类的效用。在最适合的LPA模型中发现了四种愤怒特征:低愤怒(n = 153, 28.4%)、愤怒中(n = 91, 16.9%)、中度愤怒(n = 193, 35.9%)和高愤怒(n = 101, 35.5%)。多项回归的结果显示，情绪调节的使用在所有概况中都有所不同。高愤怒组和高愤怒组的参与者表现出不同的功能失调情绪调节模式。这些结果进一步证明了情绪调节策略和不适应愤怒之间的联系。临床意义如何定制治疗的个人适应不良愤怒讨论。
