	M ± SD	Cronbach’s α	BDI-II	Ho Scale	Anger-In
Baseline
BDI-II	3.8 ± 3.9	.78	---
Ho Scale	8.1 ± 4.0	.74	.20^*	---
Anger-In	15.0 ± 3.7	.74	.22^*	.18^*	---
Anger Out	13.1 ± 2.8	.70	.08	.15^*	−.03
6-Year Follow-up
BDI-II	5.1 ± 5.1	.84	---
Ho Scale	9.8 ± 4.4	.78	.24^*	---
Anger-In	14.0 ± 3.4	.71	.32^*	.27^*	---
Anger-Out	12.8 ± 3.2	.79	.13^*	.24^*	.13^*

Note. N ranges from 288–295 due to missing data. BDI-II = Beck Depression Inventory-II. Ho Scale = Cook-Medley Hostility Scale. Anger-In = Anger-In subscale of the State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory. Anger-Out = Anger-Out subscale of the State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory.
