Means, standard deviations (SDs) and Cronbach's α reliability coefficients for all study variables (n = 111).
| Mean | SD | α | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nonacceptance | 14.60 | 5.47 | .84 |
| Goals | 13.92 | 4.80 | .82 |
| Impulse | 12.90 | 5.65 | .81 |
| Awareness | 15.26 | 4.81 | .67 |
| Strategies | 18.01 | 6.38 | .83 |
| Clarity | 10.85 | 3.91 | .75 |
| TAS-20 | 54.40 | 13.64 | .79 |
| State-A | 19.33 | 7.90 | .86 |
| Trait-A | 19.59 | 6.17 | .85 |
| Expr-OUT | 16.74 | 4.98 | .82 |
| Expr-IN | 18.75 | 4.73 | .80 |
| Contr-OUT | 22.86 | 5.80 | .75 |
| Contrl-IN | 23.26 | 5.95 | .79 |
Note: Contr-IN = Anger control inward scale (STAXI-2); Contr-OUT = Anger control outward scale (STAXI-2); Expr-IN = Anger expression inward scale (STAXI-2); Expr-OUT = Anger expression outward scale (STAXI-2); State-A = State anger scale (STAXI-2); STAXI-2 = State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory – 2; TAS-20 = Toronto Alexithymia Scale, total score; Trait-A = Trait anger scale (STAXI-2). Nonacceptance, Goals, Impulse, Awareness, Strategies and Clarity are scales from the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS).
