The antecedents of anger in a sample of college students.

Eighty-three college students were surveyed in an attempt to identify the situations that elicit anger or a loss of temper. The 356 responses were sorted into seven rational categories with substantial interrater reliability. There were no significant sex differences; however, there were more antecedents reported for anger than for loss of temper. On a self-rating scale a high percent of Ss gave a benign report on the frequency of their anger arousal and loss of temper. However, the intensity of anger was reported as greater than that of others by 32% of the males and 20% of the females.

Assessing the psychosocial environment of halfway houses for the retarded.

The Community-Oriented Programs Environment Scale (COPES) was used to assess the psychosocial environment of two halfway houses for the mentally retarded. Residents of the houses were individually asked each question and the staff completed the same scale. Results showed general agreement between staff and residents, suggesting that the retarded were adequately able to describe their treatment program. The results were meaningfully graphed on the existing norms for the mentally disturbed.

Personality disorders in problematic medical patients.

To better understand problematic medical patients, the psychiatric diagnoses of 448 patients referred to a behavioral medicine clinic were examined. Forty-two percent met DSM-III-R personality disorder criteria. Analysis of the comorbidity of Axis I and Axis II diagnoses revealed a statistically significant co-occurrence between somatoform and personality disorders (P < 0.0001). Some of the difficulties in making a personality disorder diagnosis are reviewed, as are reasons why knowledge of personality disorder diagnoses is important to medical providers.
