To study the role of self-esteem and gender in anger expression, participants, who were screened for high or low self-esteem, were angered by a confederate. Participants were then given the opportunity to express their anger by administering blasts of white noise to a confederate. Men with low self-esteem exhibited anger-out anger reactions by administering the loudest blasts of white noise, while women with low self-esteem exhibited anger-in anger responses by administering the softest blasts of white noise. High self-esteem men and women did not differ in their anger responses. These findings support the hypothesis that low self-esteem men and women rely upon socialized sex-role stereotypes when responding to anger. The implications of the findings are discussed in terms of their impact on therapy for maladaptive anger responses.

Using data from the 1996 General Social Survey and the 1973 Chicago Crowding Study, we test the hypotheses that African Americans feel and express more anger than whites, that sense of control (versus powerlessness) lessens anger and mistrust increases anger, and that these indicators of alienation affect anger differently for African Americans and whites. We find that when age and gender are controlled, African Americans neither feel nor express more anger than whites, despite having a lower average sense of control and higher mistrust. This is partly because the effects of sense of control and mistrust on anger differ by race. Sense of control reduces feelings of anger and anger expression more for African Americans than whites. Mistrust increases feelings of anger for whites, but not African Americans. The results provide further evidence that, in the stress process, social structural location may moderate the effects of “detriments” and “resources” on emotional upset.

Purpose – Effective leadership is important to performance in both organisational and sporting arenas. The authors theorised that follower personality would influence perceptions of leadership, and that perceived effective leadership would be associated with performance. The authors drew on Social Identity Theory (Tajfel and Turner, 1986), Transformational Leadership and personality theory to develop a research model designed to assess leadership effectiveness and performance. The purpose of this paper is to test the research model in a sporting context. Design/methodology/approach – The context of the research was a round the world sailing race, a ten-month competitive circumnavigation with ten identical boats. Quantitative data were gathered concerning participants’ personality, their perceptions of transformational leadership and boat performance. Qualitative data on transformational leadership and leadership effectiveness were gathered from a subsample of crew members. Findings – Results showed that transformational leadership was associated with leadership effectiveness and performance. Personality influenced perceptions of leadership and, for moderate performing boats, there were associations between perceptions of leadership and performance. Research limitations/implications – The data have implications for the extension of transformational leadership theory. Further consideration of follower personality could enhance leadership effectiveness. A limitation is the relatively small scale of the study. Practical implications – The main implication is that leaders should take follower personality into account, and adapt their leadership style accordingly. Doing so has consequences for performance. Originality/value – This novel study examined personality, leadership, and performance and has implications for enhancing leadership and performance in sports and business.

Los objetivos de este trabajo son: 1) Conocer si existen diferencias entre los motivos asociados a la edad y al género y 2) Comprobar si existen diferencias en los motivos en función de los niveles de ira estado-rasgo. Se elaboró un cuestionario ad hoc y se aplicó el Inventario de Expresión de Ira Estado-Rasgo (STAXI-II) a 1188 niños españoles aficionados al deporte. Entre los resultados las niñas destacaron por: los motivos sociales y familiares. Por otro lado, los niños destacaron por: los motivos antisociales, ver a sus ídolos y el motivo competitivo. Los análisis de regresión mostraron que a menores niveles de ira rasgo existe relación con no escoger los motivos “me divierte ver cómo gritan e insultan” (p<.01; OR=.87), “porque me relaja y tranquiliza” (p<.01; OR=.84) y “me gusta el alboroto que forman” (p<.01; OR=.89). Además, los análisis de regresión mostraron que a menores niveles de ira estado existe relación con no escoger los motivos “para estar con mis amigos” (p<.01; OR=.87), “porque gritan e insultan” (p<.01; OR=.82), “mi equipo va ganando” (p<.01; OR=.95), “me gusta el alboroto” (p<.01; OR=.82), y el motivo de afiliación a una peña “me gusta el alboroto que forman” (p<.01; OR=.49). Se concluyó que existen diferencias de género y en función de la edad en los motivos escogidos. Además, la ira estado-rasgo influye en los motivos escogidos por los jóvenes espectadores deportivos, decantándose los jóvenes con mayores niveles de ira rasgo-estado por los motivos más orientados a la competición y antideportivos.Abstract. The goals of this study are: 1) to know the differences in age and gender-related motivations, and 2) to check if there are differences in the reasons based on state-trait anger levels. An ad-hoc questionnaire was developed, and the State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory (STAXI-2) was applied to 1188 children sports fans from Spain. Results showed that girls chose social and family reasons. On the other hand, boys stand out for their choice of antisocial motives, watching their idols, and the competitive motive. Regression analyses showed that lower levels of trait anger are related with not to choose the motives "I enjoy seeing how they shout and insult" (p<.01; OR = .87), "because it relaxes and calms me" (p<.01; OR = .84) and "I like the fuss they make" (p<.01; OR = .89). Furthermore, regression analysis showed that lower levels of anger state are related with not to choose the reason "to be with my friends" (p<.01; OR = .87), "because they shout and insult" (p<.01; OR = .82), "my team is winning" (p<.01; OR = .95), "I like the fuss" (p<.01, OR = .82); and the reason for joining a supporters' club is " I like the fuss they make "(p<.01; OR = .49). It was concluded that there are differences in gender and age depending on the chosen motifs. In addition, state-trait anger influences the motives chosen by young sports spectators, with youths with higher levels of trait-state anger exercising for the more competitive and unsportsmanlike reasons.
