What will be an ideal response?


Dembroski's group found that "anger-in", an anger expression style associated with anger suppression that they described as "an unwillingness in a variety of circumstances to express frustration-induced hostility and/or anger overtly," was positively associated with severity of angina symptoms and frequency of myocardial infarctions. Corroborating evidence was also found for suppressed anger as a health risk factor for coronary heart disease in a number of other studies---moderate anger expression was indicated as optimal.
