As well, the Spanish version of the State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory -STAXI- (Spielberger 1988, 1991), labelled Inventario de Expresión de Ira Estado-Rasgo, is described. Finally, results of two different studies are presented: first one carried out with hypertensive patients and second with myocardial infarction patients. There were significant higher scores in anger- in both for hypertensives and myocardial infarction patients as compared as their control groups.}, year = {1997}, journal = {Ansiedad y Estrés}, volume = {3}, number = {1}, pages = {5-20}, month = {01/1997}, publisher = {Sociedad Española para el Estudio de la Ansiedad y el Estrés}, issn = {1134-7937}, isbn = {2174-0437}, }
