| description | According to Spielberg (1988), anger is defined as a basic emotion which occurs at a particular moment before aggression or hostility. State anger is characterized by subjective feelings that vary in intensity, from mild irritation or annoyance to intense fury and rage. On the other hand, trait anger is defined as a willingness to perceive a wide range of situations as annoying or frustrating and to experience increased state anger. The experience of anger has been related to different health problems (Averill 1983, Mytton et al. 2002), personality disorders (DiGiussepe et al. 2012), suicide risk (Hawkins et al. 2014), and others. The purpose of this study was to conduct a diagnostic assessment of the experience and expression of anger in young university students, as a first step toward future actions promoting proper regulation and anger management. For this purpose, an ex post facto cross-sectional study was carried out in a university student population by using the State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory (STAXI-2) (Miguel-Tobal et al. 2009). Appropriate anger management is considered a psychological resource; considering this and the results obtained, it is possible that the difficulty in expressing and properly perceiving the experience of anger may predominate in the population assessed. This suggests that these individuals show a tendency towards inhibition and the display of avoidance or denial mechanisms, which can be considered a risk factor for the development of health problems. |

De acuerdo con Spielberg (1988), la ira es definida como una emoción básica, que ocurre en un momento particular antes de la agresión o la hostilidad, así mismo el de estado de ira, se caracteriza por sentimientos subjetivos que varían en intensidad, desde una leve irritación o molestia hasta una intensa furia y rabia. Por otra parte, la ira como rasgo, se define como una disposición a percibir una amplia gama de situaciones como molestas o frustrantes y experimentar aumento en el estado de ira. La experiencia de la emoción de ira se ha relacionado con diversas problemáticas en materia de salud (Averill, 1983; Mytton et al., 2002), trastornos de la personalidad (DiGiussepe et al., 2012), riesgo suicida (Hawkins et al., 2014), entre otros. El propósito del presente estudio fue llevar a cabo una evaluación diagnóstica de la experiencia y expresión de la ira en jóvenes universitarios, como una aproximación a futuras acciones de promoción de una adecuada regulación y manejo de la ira. Para ello se realizó una investigación de tipo ex post facto de corte transversal en una población universitaria empleando el Inventario de Expresión de Ira Estado-Rasgo (STAXI-2) (Miguel-Tobal et al., 2009). Manejar de manera adecuada la ira es considerado un recurso psicológico, tomando en cuenta esto y a partir de los resultados obtenidos, es posible que en la población evaluada predomine la dificultad al expresar y percibir la experiencia de ira de manera adecuada, lo que indica que presentan una tendencia hacia la inhibición, poniendo en práctica mecanismos evitativos o de negación, que puede ser considerado un riesgo para el desarrollo de problemas de salud.
