Anger Management Evaluation (STAXI-2, Beck Anger, ADS)
-
STAXI-2 (State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory-2): This is a popular 57-item self-report tool. It measures both state anger (how angry someone is right now) and trait anger (a person's general tendency to feel angry). It also assesses how a person expresses their anger (e.g., outwardly or inwardly) and how they control it.
-
Beck Anger Inventory: This is part of the Beck Youth Inventories (BYI-2), designed for children and adolescents ages 7 to 18. It's a short, 20-item self-report questionnaire that evaluates feelings of unfairness, anger, and resentment, helping to identify emotional and behavioral issues in youth.
-
ADS (Anger Disorder Scale): A self-rated inventory for adults that helps identify clinically dysfunctional anger as a primary problem, rather than a symptom of another condition. It assesses various aspects of anger, including how often it's provoked, its physical and emotional effects, and a person's anger-related thoughts and behaviors.
