Title: | Effects of Online Cognitive Treatment for Problematic Anger: A Randomized Controlled Trial | Contributor(s): | Howie, Amanda (author); Malouff, John M (author) | Publication Date: | 2014 | DOI: | 10.1080/16506073.2014.939103 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/16170 | Abstract: | Problematic anger, which is common, has been associated with a wide range of negative interpersonal and intrapersonal consequences, including violent behaviour, relationship damage, health problems and low self-esteem. This article reports the results of the first randomized controlled trial of brief online cognitive treatment for anger. The sample included 75 adults who were randomly assigned to cognitive treatment or a waiting list control. The analyses with the 59 participants who completed the post-intervention assessment at four weeks after the beginning of the intervention showed that individuals who received the intervention reported significantly lower anger levels than the control group at post-assessment. The treatment group showed a substantial decrease in anger from pre to post. The results suggest that brief online cognitive treatment can be effective for reducing problematic anger in adults. These findings provide an initial support for the development of internet-based cognitive treatment for problematic anger. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, 43(4), p. 310-318 | Publisher: | Routledge | Place of Publication: | United Kingdom | ISSN: | 1651-2316 1650-6073 |
