Abstract
Past research has clearly demonstrated that depressive symptoms are associated
with anger arousal and anger suppression (e.g., Allan & Gilbert, 2002; Quiggle,
Garber, Panak, & Dodge, 1992). However, the literature is mixed in terms of
whether depressive symptoms are associated with aggressive, assertive behavioral
responses (Bjork, Dougherty, & Moeller, 1997), or with submissive behavioral
responses (Allan & Gilbert, 1997). The purposes of this proposed study would be to
further confirm already-established relationships among depressive symptoms,
anger arousal and anger suppression, as well as to investigate and clarify any
relations between symptoms and behavioral responses to anger. It was
hypothesized that findings pertaining to depressive symptoms, anger, and anger
suppression would confirm past research, and that symptoms would be more highly
correlated with submissive behavior than outward aggressive behavior. Participants
in the study would include undergraduate students who, for the purposes of a larger
study, completed scales measuring levels of depressive symptoms, anger arousal,
and likely responses to anger.
