The creation of an observational Constructive Anger
Behavior-Verbal Style Scale (CAB-V) and its relation to
resting blood pressure (BP) in an age- and sex-stratified,
population-based sample is examined. Participants (
N
= 1,862)
provided hypertension risk factor information, had resting BP
assessed multiple times, and completed a videotaped interview, which
was later coded for CAB-V and Hostile Style. High CAB-V scores
remained a significant predictor of lower resting BP when
controlling for the effects of standard hypertension risk factors
(age, sex, body mass index, physical activity, alcohol use, smoking
status, parental myocardial infarction history, education, and
diabetic status) and psychosocial measures (anxiety, depression,
hostility, social support, and Hostile Style). This relation also
remained when excluding known hypertensive persons. Results suggest
that constructive anger expression may have an independent
beneficial association with resting BP.
