This study aimed to identify the convergence factor where social support, self-esteem, and job stress affect the type of anger expressions in dental hygienists. The study involved 402 hygienists from different dental institutions. Clustering analysis was carried out to classify the types, and logistics regression analysis to find the related factors. Based on the types of anger expressions found in dental hygienists, they were divided into an anger control group and anger out-in group, with the former comprising 233 participants (58%). The results show that those with higher self-esteem (OR=5.592) and enjoying greater social support from their colleagues (OR=1.172) tend to belong to the anger control group. In other words, the study suggests that dental hygienists can control anger better with higher self-esteem and stronger social support from colleagues.

This study identifies the relationship between the anger expression and interpersonal problems of college students, and then confirms the influence on emotion regulation difficulties as a mediating effect. And, it was conducted to understand college students who complain of interpersonal problems and to provide basic data for developing programs that can solve their problems. As a result of the study, anger expression showed a positive correlation in interpersonal relations problem and emotion regulation difficulty, and interpersonal relations problem showed somewhat high positive correlation with emotion regulation difficulty. In addition, it was found that emotion control difficulties were partially mediated in the anger expression among college students and interpersonal relationships. In conclusion, we could see the need for future research to develop educational programs that reduce the difficulty of emotion control and lead to positive anger expression among college students, and intervention programs that can improve interpersonal relationships.

Aggressive behavior triggered by the tendency to become angry is generating various social problems. To combat these various social issues, it is important to recognize the role that empathy plays in preventing those with trait-anger from becoming aggressive. More specifically, the hypothesis that empathic concern and perspective taking would mitigate the association between trait-anger and aggression was examined through this study. 329 college students participated in a survey containing questions related to trait-anger, aggression, empathic concern and perspective taking. The results showed that empathic concern moderated the association between trait-anger and aggression, whereas perspective taking did not. That is, those who are emotionally empathetic do not act aggressively easily even if their trait-anger is high; while those who are cognitively empathetic struggle to reduce the likelihood of their trait-anger leading to aggressive behavior. The result of this study indicates that emotional empathy was more useful than cognitive empathy in preventing those with trait-anger leading to aggressive behaviors. The implications, limitations and future directions of this study were also considered and presented as well.

In this essay, I modify and improve an anger-solving approach based on Seneca's theory of anger. Seneca proposed his own theory on anger and its therapy in his book, De Ira. Jin-Nam Yi developed five-step-anger-solving approach based on Seneca's theory and John Dewey's problem-solving steps. I show that Yi's approach is restricted in preventive short-term therapy with a constricted concept of anger. I also propose that we should treat controllable anger on preventive levels and uncontrollable anger on therapeutic levels. Adding the sixth step, 'jumping' in order to treat counselees with uncontrollable angers, I suggest a new anger-solving approach with clinical examples.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the somatic symptoms, trait anger, and anger expression styles perceived by cancer patients, examine their relationships, and identify variables influencing somatic symptoms. The mean of patients' somatic symptoms was 8.59 ± 5.34, trait anger was 1.78±0.53, and anger suppression was 2.02±0.36, which is the highest. In terms of differences in somatic symptoms according to the general characteristics of the subjects, stage 3 cancer stage was the highest compared to other stages(F=2.745, p=.045), and the presence of cancer-related pain was significantly higher compared to its absence(t=5.046, p<.001). Differences in trait anger according to the general characteristics of the patients were found to be significant based on monthly income(F=3.952, p=.004). Differences in anger expression styles were found by age(F=4.186, p=.017), monthly income(F=3.302, p=.012), and experience of cancer-related pain(t=2.715, p=.007) in anger suppression, while differences were observed by age(F=3.637, p=.028), employment status(t=2.563, p=.011), monthly income(F=3.580, p=.008), and duration of treatment(F=3.726, p=.026) in anger regulation. The somatic symptoms perceived by the patients had positive correlations with trait anger(r=.209, p=.006), anger suppression(r=.206, p=.006), anger expression(r=.199, p=.008), and anger regulation(r=.194, p=.009). It was found that a greater presence of cancer-related pain was related with a higher level of somatic symptoms of patients among other variables.
