Present study intended to verify the psychosocial risk factors of cardiovascular disease. For this purpose, after manipulating interpersonal stress situation of anger suppressive, anger control, and anger expressive subjects, it is compared with the changes of cardiovascular response between support and control condition. The results were as follows; First, anger suppressive and anger expressive subjects showed significantly higher increase on cardiovascular response than anger control subjects. Second, control condition showed significantly higher increase on cardiovascular response than support condition. Third, the effect of social support on cardiovascular response varied with the mode of anger expression. This suggests that the buffering effect of social support on changes of cardiovascular response varies with the mode of anger expression; that is, the manipulation of social support had a significant buffering effect on anger expressive and anger control subjects, but no buffering effect on anger suppressive subjects. Fourth, anger control and anger expressive subjects showed significantly higher perception on perceived social support than anger suppressive subjects. This suggests that there was no buffering effect of social support on anger suppressive subjects, because they did not perceive social support properly.
