In this study, the following two tasks were carried out. Firstly, specific differences were found out in terms of the content in the irrational beliefs, the primary anger thought, the secondary anger thought, and the anger expression of those who have paranoid and depression tendencies. Secondly, it was also found which factor of the irrational beliefs, the primary and secondary anger thoughts would primarily influence the two factors(anger-out and anger-in) of the irrational anger expression. The data for this study were collected from the students attending the universities located in Daegu region.
Six scales were used for each participant; Paranoia Scale(PS), Beck Depression Inventory(BDI), Revised General Attitude and Belief Scale(R-GABS), Primary Anger Thought Scale, Secondary Anger-Thought Scale and Stare-Trait Anger Expression Inventory-Korean version(STAXI-K). The simple correlation analysis, regression analysis and t-test were used to examine relationship among those variable.
As a result of the simple correlation analysis, both of paranoid and depression significantly showed positive correlation with subfactors of the irrational beliefs, primary anger thought, secondary anger thought and subfactors of the anger expression modes. As a result of the partial correlation analysis considering high correlation between paranoid and depression, paranoid significantly showed positive correlations with other variables even under the control of the depression scores. But depression significantly showed positive correlations with discomforts, lower patience for frustration, powerlessness and anger-in.
As a result of t-test, the paranoid group significantly showed more higher with hypersensitiveness for disregard and unfair treat as subfactors of irrational beliefs, blame and revenge on others of secondary anger thought and anger-out of anger expressions than the depression group.
As a result of the regression analysis, blame and revenge on others significantly explained anger expressions and powerlessness significantly explained anger-in. But irrational beliefs and primary anger thought didn't.
In conclusion, intervention programs for reduce irrational beliefs, primary anger thought, secondary anger thought that affected anger expression modes of paranoid group and depression group would be used for change irrational anger expression.
