Abstract

This study, undetaken with two sub-studies, examined the subtypes of college students in terms of the sub-factors of anger expression styles (Anger-In, Anger-Out, & Anger-Control) and their differences on the scores of interpersonal problems and happiness. In Study 1 (n = 90), the results from a two-stage cluster analysis entering the sub-factor scores as the clustering variables suggested the presence of four clusters (adaptive anger-control group, low anger-involving group, high anger-involving group, and suppressive anger-control group). Additionally, a MANOVA was conducted to identify the differences on the scores of interpersonal problems among the four clusters. As a result, suppressive anger-control group revealed the highest level of relationship problems among the four groups. In Study 2 (n = 93), another two-stage cluster analysis with the second sample of college students was performed to validate the presence of the four clusters from Study 1. The results provided additional support for the four clusters extracted from Study 1. In addition, the results of a one-way ANOVA, adaptive anger-control group revealed significantly higher level of happiness among the four groups. In conclusion, this study ends with the discussion of the relationship between anger expression styles and mental health.
