Abstract
Relations were examined between anger and aggressive behavior with subjective and objective measures of impulsivity among a high-risk sample. Higher levels of self-reported impulsivity and PTSD symptom severity were associated with higher levels of anger. Lower behavioral inhibition was associated with higher levels of aggressive and violent behavior.
