The STAXI-2 can be used to assess anger components in detailed evaluations of normal and abnormal personality. Use the STAXI-2 as a screening and outcome measure in psychotherapy and stress management programs, particularly in the field of behavioral medicine.

Fifty seven items measure the intensity of anger as an emotional state and the disposition to experience angry feelings as a personality trait. Scales include: State Anger, Trait Anger, Anger Expression-Out, Anger Expression In, Anger Control-Out, Anger Control-In and Anger Expression Index. The STAXI requires a fifth grade reading level.

About the STAXI-2

The STAXI-2 State Anger scale assesses the intensity of anger as an emotional state at a particular time. The Trait Anger scale measures how often angry feelings are experienced over time. The Anger Expression and Anger Control scales assess four relatively independent anger-related traits: (a) expression of anger toward other persons or objects in the environment (Anger Expression-Out); (b) holding in or suppressing angry feelings (Anger Expression-In); (c) controlling angry feelings by preventing the expression of anger toward other persons or objects in the environment (Anger Control-Out); and (d) controlling suppressed angry feelings by calming down or cooling off (Anger Control-In).
