Note: *p < .05; **p < .01. 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).
