Anger being one of the primitive emotions often interferes with the sense of well being of a person. The present
study aims to explore the psychometric properties of Trait Anger and Expression Scale (TAES; Rashid &
Siddiqui, 2005) against the State Trait Anger Expression Inventory (STAXI). Pilot study was conducted (N=
10) on student sample to check the ease of understanding of STAXI Urdu translation. Data was collected from
the 400 university students of five different educational institutes (government and private) of Lahore. Their
age ranged from 18-25 years. Data was collected through administering TAES along with STAXI. The results
showed that the alpha coefficient of TAES is (.78). Two factors emerged through EFA and named as Anger
Expression and Anger In with good alpha coefficients (ɑ=.78, ɑ= .68). Most of the items of TAES correlate
significantly with the total score of TAES which indicate internal consistency of items. Both factors along with
TAES total score show an average correlation with subscales of STAXI which represents concurrent validity of
TAES. Average correlation was found between TAES and subscales of STAXI i.e., State anger (r=.41), Trait
Anger (r=.60), Anger In (r=.42), Anger Out (r=.40), Anger control (r=-.52) and with Anger Expression (r=.63).
TAES is a valid and reliable scale for the assessment of anger.
