Method: There search design for this study was a descriptive survey design using a convenience sampling. Data collection was done using self-report questionnaires with 381 middle age people (169 men and 212 women) in Seoul and G city. ANOVA, t-test, Pearson correlation coefficients and stepwise multiple regression were used to analyze the data with SPSS Win 18.0 Program.

In multiple regression analysis, mood states, religion, and employment were significant predictors and explained 36% of Hwa-byung symptoms for men. In women, mood states, life stress, anger rumination and employment were significant predictors and explained 41% of Hwa-byung symptoms.
