Anger, Hostility, and Aggression among Iraq and Afghanistan War Veterans Reporting PTSD and Subthreshold PTSD

Type
Summary
Scores were compared on self-report measures of anger, hostility, and aggression for Veterans in three different groups: those who screened positive for PTSD, those with subthreshold PTSD, and those without PTSD symptoms. Veterans with PTSD or subthreshold PTSD were significantly more likely to report anger, hostility, and aggression compared to the non-PTSD group.
