Objectives : The purpose of this study was to assess anger of middle school adolescents in an urban community using State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory (STAXI)-Korean and Korean Child Behavior Checklist (K-CBCL), and to determine whether specific anger expression of adolescents is associated with certain psychopathology including depression. Methods : Data were collected from 395 middle school students and their parents in Incheon city. The students completed the STAXI, Children's Depression Inventory, Korean version of Mood disorder Questionnaire, and Conners-Wells' Adolescent Self-Report Scale (Short Form), and their parents completed the K-CBCL. Results : No significant correlation was observed between aggression subscale K-CBCL and each scale of the STAXI, except anger out (r=0.704). The scores for STAXI total and respective scales were significantly higher for female students than male students. A stepwise logistic regression model was used to explore the possible predictors for depression in adolescents and lower anger control and higher anger suppression were found to be predictors for depression in adolescence. Conclusion : There is a possibility of a large discrepancy between anger that the adolescents actually feel and parents' judgment of their children's anger. It must be considered in assessment of adolescent anger and use of further structured interviews is necessary. In addition, it may be useful to consider the anger expression style in adolescents who report depressive symptoms.

Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between primary dysmenorrhea. Methods: Intensity of dysmenorrhea was evaluated by scoring system of Andersch and Milsom. Anger state, trait, expression of the patients suffering from dysmenorrhea was measured by STAXI-K. And each value was analyzed by ANOVA testm as to intensity of dysmenorrhea, student t test as to existence of dysmenorrhea. Results: The numerical value of anger expression in the primary dysmenorrhea existent group was significantly higher than that in the primary dysmenorrhea non-existent group. There were significant differences among the numerical value of anger expression in the groups classified as intensity of primary dysmenorrhea, the value of three positive group() was significantly higher than that of negative group(-). Conclusion: This study showed the relationship between anger expression and primary dysmenorrhea. But there was no clue to find out their causal relationship, because this study was cross-sectional. So further study will be needed to prove the causality between them. And more precise scale has to been developed to evaluate various type of anger accurately.

목 적: 수면문제와 자살위험의 증가의 연관성에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 자살사고를 보이는 환자에서 수면문제의 호소는 매우 흔한 일이다. 비록 수면문제가 정신과적 질환에 매우 흔한 증상 중 하나이지만, 불면증, 수면과다증, 악몽등과 같은 수면문제는 특히 자살위험이 높은 환자에서 흔함이 보고되었다. 본 연구에서는 수면시간과 자살사고의 연관성에 대해 조사해 보고자 하였다. 방 법: 인천지역에 거주하는 주민 1,000명(남자:여자=500:500명, 평균연령=39.6${\pm}$11.6세, 연령범위=20~77세)을 대상으로 하였다. 전체 대상군의 사회인구학적 정보를 조사하였고, 지난 한달 동안의 수면시간 및 수면습관, Beck 자살사고 척도(Beck Suicide Intent scale;이하 BSI), 우울증 척도(Center for Epidemiologic Study-Depression;이하 CES-D), 분노감 척도(Spielberger State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory;이하 STAXI), 충동성 척도(Barratt Impulsiveness Scale;이하 BIS), 아침형-저녁형척도(Morningness-Eveningness Scale;이하 MES)로 구성된 설문지를 완성하도록 하였다. 결 과: 전체 대상군에서의 상관관계분석에서 나이와 성별을 보정한 후, BSI점수는 CES-D, STAXI, BIS와 유의한양의 상관관계를 보였으며(각각 $r_P$=0.251; p<0.001, $r_P$=0.352: p<0.001, $r_P$=0.175; p<0.001), MES와는 유의한 음의 상관관계를 보였다($r_P$=-0.066; p=0.037). 수면시간은 BSI점수와는 유의한 상관관계를 보이지 않았다($r_P$=-0.054; p=0.091). 전체 대상군에서 BSI를 종속변수로 하고, 나이, 성별, 가족내 소득, 정신질환의 가족력, 교육, 결혼상태, 종교의 사회인구학적 변수와 CES-D 점수, STAXI 점수, BIS 점수, MES 점수, 6시간 이하나 10시간 이상의 수면시간을 갖는 군을 독립변수로 선형회귀분석을 시행하였다. 정신질환의 가족력, CES-D 점수, STAXI 점수, 6시간 이하나 10시간 이상의 수면시간이 유의하게 자살사고 점수를 예측하였다(F=17.837, adjusted $R^2$=0.166, 각각 p=0.003, p<0.001, p<0.001, p=0.003). 경도 이상의 우울증상이 있는 군으로 한정하였을 때에도, 같은 변인들이 자살사고를 유의하게 예측하였는데, 이 모형이 가지는 설명력은 우울한 집단에서 더 높았다(F=9.920, adjusted $R^2$=0.298). 결 론: 본 연구결과는 주관적 보고에 기초한 6시간 이하의 짧은 수면시간뿐 아니라 10시간 이상의 긴 수면시간도 자살사고와 유의한 연관성이 있음을 제시한다.

Objectives : The aim of this study was to find correlations between characteristics of Four constitution and Hwa-byung. Methods : Clinical data were collected from Hwa-byung Epidemiologic study data. we selected 130 self-labelled Hwa-byung patients data and 83 of them were diagnosed as Hwa-byung by SCID. We used Hwa-byung SCID, Hwa-byung scale, CES-D, STAI, STAXI and Personality and Physiological Symptom Questionnaire(PPSQ) as evaluation tools. We performed statistical analysis of each 2 groups, self-labelled Hwa-byung group(N=130) and diagnosed Hwa-byung group(N=83). Results : 1. In self-labelled Hwa-byung group, Greater yin score showed significant negative correlation with 3 indices of Hwa-byung scale and significant positive correlation with 1 index. Lesser yin score showed significant positive correlation with 6 indices. In diagnosed Hwa-byung group, Greater yin score showed significant negaitive correlation with 5 indices. In both groups, Lesser yang score showed no significant correlation with any indices of Hwa-byung scale. 2. In self-labelled Hwa-byung group, Greater yin score showed significant negative correlation with both trait anger score and state anger score of STAXI. Lesser yin score showed significant positive correlation with trait anxiety score, state anxiety score and CES-D score self-labelled Hwa-byung group. Lesser yang score showed significant positive correlation with anger-out score of STAXI. But Lesser yin score showed significant negative correlation with same index diagnosed Hwa-byung group. Conclusions : 1. The higher Greater yin score, suppression or denial, psychological defense mechanism, become more stronger. 2. The higher Lesser yin score, anger-out tendency become more weakened and increased prevalence of Hwa-byung symptoms. 3. The higher Lesser yang score, anger-out tendency become more stronger.
