The Influence of Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Anger Management on Endothelial Function in Patients With Recent Myocardial Infarction: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Anger may cause adverse cardiovascular responses, but the effects of anger management on clinical cardiovascular outcomes are insufficiently understood. We sought to assess the influence of anger management through a cognitive behavioral intervention on endothelial function in patients with a recent myocardial infarction (MI). Patients with ST-elevation MI and a low anger control score were enrolled during hospitalization in a randomized, parallel, controlled clinical trial. Intervention was anger management with cognitive behavioral techniques implemented by a psychologist in two individual monthly sessions. The primary end point was the between-group difference in the variation of flow-mediated dilation (FMD) in the brachial artery from baseline to the 3-month follow-up. The second end point comprised major cardiovascular events at 24-month follow-up. A total of 43 patients (age = 56 [9] years; 23.3% women) were randomized to the intervention group and 47 patients (age = 58 [10] years; 19.1% women) to the control group. Baseline clinical characteristics were not statistically different between groups. Both groups showed a significant improvement in anger control from baseline to end point; however, the difference in intergroup variation was not statistically significant. The difference in FMD variation from baseline to the 3-month follow-up was significantly higher in the intervention group. The partial η2 was 0.057 (p = .024), indicating a medium effect size. There was no difference between groups regarding major cardiovascular events. Anger management by cognitive behavioral techniques may improve endothelial function in post-MI patients with low anger control, but it remains unclear via which mechanism these effects occurred. Further studies with larger numbers of patients, assessments of changes in anger, improved comparability of preintervention FMD, and longer follow-up are warranted.Trial Registration:ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02868216.

The effects of anger management on children’s social and emotional outcomes: A meta-analysis

The occurrence of violent behaviors and bullying in schools continues to be a recognized problem among students and school personnel. The concern caused by these behaviors have led many schools to implement anger management and other impulse control based programs for at-risk students in an effort to prevent many of these incidences. This study was a comprehensive, meta-analytic synthesis of the literature to assess the effectiveness of these interventions, using a total of 60 studies from 1979–2010 for analysis. Results indicated an overall effect size (ES) of −0.27, showing a small to moderate intervention effect in reducing children’s negative emotional and behavioral outcomes including anger, aggression, and loss of self control. Many different types of anger management components were found to be effective in promoting positive outcomes. Implications for school psychologists are discussed.

P01-293 - The effect of anger management on adjustment and self-efficacy

IntroductionToday anger and its manifestation has become a great health problem among adolescents.AimThe aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of teaching anger management on adjustment and self-efficacy of adolescents.MethodsThis is an experimental study which was conducted on 50 students that were chosen through random sampling method. Data were collected through adjustment and self-efficacy questionnaire. Content validity and Test-retest methods were used for validity and reliability of the questionnaire. Initially, the two adjustments and self-efficacy questionnaires were given to the students, then, anger management was taught in for 8 sessions each lasting 1.5 hours. Two weeks after the last session of teaching, the two questionnaires were filled again and the results were compared. Data analysis using descriptive and inferential statistics.ResultsThe analysis of data with Wilkinson's test revealed that teaching anger management has been effective on adjustment with p < 0/001 and on self-efficacy of adolescent also with p < 0/001.ConclusionAdolescents’ anger is a major concern for the society. With regard to the conclusions drawn in this study and the effects that appropriate control of anger has on adolescents’ adjustment and self-efficacy, it is advisable that educational programs for suitable control of feelings including anger be given top priority in the state educational system.

Effects of anger management and goal setting group interventions on state-trait anger and self-efficacy beliefs among high risk adolescents

In this study we evaluated the effects of two psychoeducational groups (anger management and goal setting) on state and trait anger, anger expression, and on self-efficacy beliefs of high risk adolescents enrolled in an alternative high school. Participants (n = 57) were pre- and post-tested using the State Trait Anger Expression Inventory (STAXI) with subscales for (a) state anger, (b) trait anger, and (c) anger expression, and on a measure of self-efficacy related to (a) anger management, (b) goal setting, and (c) group behavior and interpersonal communication. We hypothesized that each treatment would favorably impact the self-efficacy items related to it, that participants in both treatment groups would show gains in self-efficacy for general group behavior and communication skills, and that the anger management treatment would decrease state anger and anger expression. Results of a series of Repeated Measures ANOVAS revealed no group effects or group by time interaction effects. Analysis of Cohen's d effect sizes for the treatment groups in comparison with the control condition indicated only small treatment effects for the goal setting group on the STAXI, and small, negative treatment effects for the anger management group on the STAXI and on state anger. Thus, results failed to support the hypotheses with the current data set. Limitations of this study and implications for future research and group practice within schools are discussed.

The effects of anger management and social contact on risk of myocardial infarction in type as and type bs

Abstract The risk of myocardial infarction (MI) associated with Type A behaviour, anger management and social contact was examined using a retrospective case-control design. Binary multiple regression analyses were used to compare 206 male and 67 female MI cases with 454 male and 316 female controls. To examine the potential moderating role of sex and Type A behaviour, moderated and subgroup regressions were run. Type A behaviour was significantly more prevalent in cases than controls. MI risk was further increased in males who combined Type A behaviour and aggressive expression of anger. In females MI risk was associated with the combination of Type A behaviour and not expressing anger. In addition female cases were significantly less likely than controls to discuss their anger, and reported fewer available social contacts. Discussion of results includes consideration of the problems generated by the retrospective case-control design.
