Scaling Study on Human Anger
Research on anger has shown that people who tend to ruminate about past experiences that made them angry, focus attention on their angry moods, and think about the consequences and causes of episodes of anger they have experienced exhibit higher levels of the expression of anger and negative affectivity. Also, the perceptions of these individuals with regard to their social desirability and their satisfaction with life show strong correlations with anger rumination as measured by the Anger Rumination Scale (Sukhodolsky, et al., 2001). The development of the survey discussed in this brief paper included consideration of the perceptions that people have about their anger and angry episodes. An aspect of this type of perception is awareness -- in as much as an individual can be said to be self-aware during an angry outburst -- of signs of increasing irritability and precursor signs of impending anger.

Only personally requesting individuals from several industry sectors decreases the reliability of
Presumably, the reliability of the responses between a monitored study and an unmonitored study could be validated by consistent reportage from the peer and the incumbent. This method was also used to control for the study's overall validity: the study would be a more valid measure of counterproductive work actions and their relationship to work stressors if an outside source validated the incumbent's responses. The study's authors still acknowledge a
