Anger and subsequent aggression have been recorded in a number of murders and physical attacks at home and in academic settings. Murder is the leading cause of death for African American males between the ages of 15 and 34. This project will explore the level and range of anger expression among young, male, African-American college students, from 17 to 25. Specific aims of this study are to collect data regarding the pattern of distribution of anger levels amongst African American male college students; investigate the relationship between anger and negative, overt behaviors displayed in the academic setting; and, measure the effects of a psycho-educational program designed to lower anger expression. 60-75 African American male students will be assessed each semester for 10 semesters. The assessment process will consist of completing self-report and interview measures of anger expression, racial identify, anger-in, and anger- out, and alcohol and drug usage. Those students in the significantly high range of anger expression will be asked to participate in a psycho- educational program designed to lower the cognitive and physiological effects of anger. Regression equations will be conducted to determine the effect of anger expression on behavior negatively impacting academic performance. In addition, a MANOVA will examine differences between racial identify on a number of anger and behavioral measures. Finally, a repeated-measures ANOVA will explore differences pre- and post- for the students participating in the psycho-educational program.

在家庭和学术环境中发生的多起谋杀和人身攻击事件中都记录了愤怒和随后的攻击行为。谋杀是 15 至 34 岁非裔美国男性死亡的主要原因。该项目将探讨 17 至 25 岁的年轻男性非裔美国大学生愤怒表达的水平和范围。该项目的具体目标研究目的是收集有关非洲裔美国男大学生愤怒水平分布模式的数据；调查愤怒与学术环境中表现出的消极、公开行为之间的关系；并衡量旨在降低愤怒表达的心理教育计划的效果。每学期将对 60-75 名非裔美国男学生进行评估，共 10 个学期。评估过程将包括完成对愤怒表达、种族认同、愤怒和愤怒以及酒精和药物使用的自我报告和访谈测量。那些愤怒表达程度明显较高的学生将被要求参加旨在降低愤怒对认知和生理影响的心理教育计划。将进行回归方程来确定愤怒表达对对学业成绩产生负面影响的行为的影响。此外，多元方差分析将检查种族认同在一些愤怒和行为指标上的差异。最后，重复测量方差分析将探讨参加心理教育项目的学生前后的差异。
