Fg. Lopez et Cw. Thurman, HIGH-TRAIT AND LOW-TRAIT ANGRY COLLEGE-STUDENTS - A COMPARISON OF FAMILY ENVIRONMENTS, Journal of counseling and development, 71(5), 1993, pp. 524-527
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.
