Description
Summary:The aim of the present study was to investigate the connection between anger, personality, stress and gender in 165 students from Växjö University. Previous research has shown that anger is a common negative emotion that occurs in every human being, regardless gender. Anger correlates positively with neuroticism and affects physical and psychological well-being. The questionnaire contained State-Trait Anger Scale (STAXI-2-S), Eysenck´s Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) and the Demand-Control-Support model (DCS). The result showed that there was a significant relation between neuroticism and anger. Anger also correlated positively with support but there were no gender differences in any level of anger.
