The present research was conducted to explore the relationship
of anger and its components like state-anger, trait-anger, angerin,
anger-out, anger-control, and anger-expression with
hypertension. Further, to explore the role of anger as
psychological risk factor in predicting hypertension. A sample
of 237 participants (hypertensive patients = 137; nonhypertensive
age matched healthy controls = 100) with age
range 30 to 65 years (M = 45; SD = 8.37) was taken from
outdoor departments of public hospitals. State Trait Anger
Expression Inventory (Spielberger, 1988) translated in to Urdu
language by Mushtaq (2012) was used to assess anger and its
dimensions. The analyses revealed significant positive
relationship between dimensions of anger and hypertension.
State-anger, trait-anger, anger-in, anger-control, and anger
turned out to be psychological predictors of hypertension in
binary logistic regression analysis. Significant differences were
found on anger and its dimensions between hypertensive men
and women.
