Very interesting research. I was wondering if gender revealed any differences in the relationship between trait anxiety and the hostile attribution bias? Also, were there other correlations between trait anxiety and the additional subscales of the aggression questionnaire?
We didn’t analyze for gender differences, but trait anxiety was also positively correlated with trait anger, verbal aggression, and physical aggression.
Great work, Sarah! This is really interesting, and I would be curious about gender differences, too, if you have that data.
Unfortunately, no, we didn’t analyze the data for gender differences.
