Hostility and distraction have differential influences on cardiovascular recovery from anger recall in women

Article Abstract:

A study that will investigate the relation of dispositional hostility to cardiovascular reactivity during an anger-recall task, and of hostility and distraction to post task recovery in eighty healthy women is presented. The results show the deleterious influences of hostility on cardiovascular recovery and the beneficial effects of distraction in expediting cardiovascular recovery by reducing rumination and anger.
