Abstract
This research investigated the hypothesis that anger can be modified by reciprocal inhibition therapy. 34 female student nurses from the Foothills Hospital, Calgary, were assigned to either a treatment or a no-treatment group. The groups were matched for mean and distribution of total aggression scores on the Buss-Durkee Inventory. The results supported the hypothesis that, compared to the no-treatment group, the therapy group, following treatment: (i) rated the treated anger-inducing scenes as less anger, tension, and excitement inducing, (ii) rated the 25 treatment-related Reaction Inventory items lower, and (iii) rated the 61 non-treatment-related Reaction Inventory items lower.
