China only allows government-run trips, partly to stop pilgrims mixing with extremists.To discourage the othersChina's heavy-handed repression angers many Uighurs.
Seven studies show anger repression or alexithymia are predictors, the strongest evidence suggesting younger women are at increased risk.
Therefore, these individuals will demonstrate persistent and consistent patterns of anger repression or expression and thus be vulnerable to any effects caused by the expression style.
Results from the Sobel test suggest that hostility, anger repression, pessimism, and self-esteem were all possible confounders (p < 0.001).
Individuals who reported high levels of hostility, anger repression, and pessimism were more likely to report higher levels of depressive symptoms and higher levels of interpersonal discrimination than individuals who reported lower levels of these personality-related characteristics.
We employed a series of ordinary least squares regression analyses to examine the potential confounding effect of hostility, anger repression and expression, pessimism, optimism, and self-esteem between interpersonal discrimination and depressive symptoms.
Hostility, anger repression, pessimism and self-esteem were significant as possible confounders of the relationship between interpersonal discrimination and depressive symptoms, together accounting for approximately 38% of the total association (beta: 0.1892, p < 0.001).
We examined whether hostility, anger repression and expression, pessimism, optimism, and self-esteem served as confounders in the association between perceived interpersonal discrimination and CESD-based depressive symptoms in a race/ethnic heterogeneous probability-based sample of community-dwelling adults.
For example, research has shown that both anger repression (inward reactions or behaviors when experiencing feelings of anger) and anger expression (reactions or behaviors towards others when experiencing feelings of anger) are related to both reports of interpersonal discrimination and depressive symptoms [ 15- 24].
We examined the extent to which several personality-related characteristics (hostility, anger repression and expression, pessimism, optimism and self-esteem), collectively served to possibly confound the association between perceived interpersonal discrimination and depressive symptoms in a racial/ethnic heterogeneous probability-based sample of community-dwelling adults.
