The sample consisted of 366 athletes and people who practice sports in general with an age range from 18 to 64 years old (M = 27.76; SD = 9.11). An ad hoc sociodemographic questionnaire and the Trait-State Anger Expression Inventory (STAXI 2) were used to measure the different variables. Results showed that participants who believed that their physical morphology had a negative influence on their performance showed greater levels of: trait anger (p < .05), temperament (p < .01), internal expression (p < .01), external expression (p < .01) and expression index (p < .01). A negative perception of one s own body structure and physical characteristics was associated with higher levels of anger. This result may either be due to the higher levels of anger which may distort one s perception of his/her body structure and physical characteristics, or that a biased perception of the latter may be responsible for the high levels of anger.  a1134-7937
