The result of anger induction.
| Variables (mean ± SD) | IED | HC | p |
|---|---|---|---|
| Frequency of anger induction (%) a | 40.00 [40.00, 50.00] | 40.00 [30.00, 50.00] | 0.43 |
| Intensity of anger b | 18.53 ± 3.31 | 14.67 ± 5.40 | 0.03 |
HC, healthy controls; IED, intermittent explosive disorder.
a
Represented as percentage of anger inducing stimuli that evoked anger among five anger-inducing clips. The variable is nonnormal distributed and is described as median and interquartile range. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare between groups for the variable.
b
