Abstract
In this study the authors investigated differences in the family envir onments of high- and low-trait angry college students. High-trait angr y students described their family environments as significantly less c ohesive, less emotionally expressive, more conflictual, and more disor ganized than did their low-trait angry counterparts. Implications of t he findings to the counseling of students with anger-related problems are discussed.
