    Implicit Theories About Interrelations of Anger Components in 25 Countries
    (American Psychological Association, 2011) Alonso Arbiol, Itziar; Vijver, Fons J. R. van de; Páez Rovira, Darío; Campos, Miryam; Fernández Sedano, Iciar
    We were interested in the cross-cultural comparison of implicit theories of the interrelations of eight anger components (antecedents, body sensations, cognitive reactions, verbal expressions, nonverbal expressions, interpersonal responses, and primary and secondary self-control). Self-report scales of each of these components were administered to a total of 5,006 college students in 25 countries. Equivalence of the scales was supported in that scales showed acceptable congruence coefficients in almost all comparisons. A multigroup confirmatory factor model with three latent variables (labeled internal processes, behavioral outcomes, and self-control mechanisms) could well account for the interrelations of the eight observed variables; measurement and structural weights were invariant. Behavioral outcomes and self-control mechanisms were only associated through their common dependence on internal processes. Verbal expressions and cognitive reactions showed the largest cross-cultural differences in means, whereas self-control mechanisms scales showed the smallest differences. Yet, cultural differences between the countries were small. It is concluded that anger, as measured by these scales, shows more pronounced cross-cultural similarities than differences in terms of both interrelations and mean score levels.

    Long-term partners’ relationship satisfaction and their perceptions of each other’s attachment insecurities
    (Wiley, 2016-03) Shaver, Phillip R.; Alonso Arbiol, Itziar; Molero Alonso, Fernando Jorge; Fernández Sedano, Iciar; Recio Saboya, Patricia
    n this research, we examined actors’ and partners’ perceptions of each other’s attachment insecurities and the associations of these perceptions with relationship satisfaction. A sample of 148 heterosexual couples completed measures of self and partner attachment insecurities and relationship satisfaction. Results indicate that partners agree in their perceptions of their own and each other’s attachment insecurities (anxiety and avoidance). Based on the actor–partner interdependence model (APIM), we also found that both actors’ scores on avoidance and their perceptions of their partner’s degree of avoidanc are associated with lower relationship satisfaction. Finally, we found that the way an actor perceives his or her partner’s avoidance plays a mediational role in the association between partner’s self-reported avoidance and actor’s relationship satisfaction.

    Prototypical Anger Components: A Multilevel Study
    (SAGE, 2014-02-25) Carrera, Pilar; Páez Rovira, Darío; Alonso Arbiol, Itziar; Campos, Miryam; Basabe, Nekane; Fernández Sedano, Iciar
    This study explored the effects of psychological and cultural variables on self-reported emotional prototypes of anger. Eight anger components were examined using a multilevel analysis. Competitiveness, interdependence, gender, instrumentality, and expressivity were entered as individual variables, and individualism/collectivism, masculinity/femininity, and the Human Development Index (HDI) were entered as cultural variables. All highlight the importance of considering simultaneously the individual and social levels, with a view to gaining more in-depth knowledge of the emotions. Data were collected among 5,006 college students from 25 countries. Being female, instrumentality, HDI, and the interaction between country-level HDI competitiveness predicted internal processes and behavioral outcomes of anger prototypes. Expressivity, instrumentality, country-level masculinity, and the interaction between gender and country-level masculinity predicted self-control mechanisms of anger prototypes. It is concluded that salient differences in anger prototypes can be found at both individual and country level, and that interaction effects of HDI with individual variables are essential in understanding anger prototypes.
