Objectives: The purpose of this study was to standardize the Korean version of the Reaction Inventory(K-RI) for measuring an individual’s propensity for anger arousal.
Methods: After translating the Reaction Inventory into the K-RI, the K-RI, Korean version of the Aggression Questionnaire(K-AQ), and Korean version of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21(K-DASS-21) were administered to 424 Korean medical college students. The re-test was conducted with a 2-week interval of 119 students.
Results: 1) The internal consistency of K-RI was 0.96(Cronbach’s α, p＜0.01). The test-retest reliability of K-RI was 0.68(Pearson’s correlation coefficiency, p＜0.01). Convergent validity was examined by Pearson’s correlation coefficient between K-RI and K-AQ, which was 0.48 (p＜0.001). 2) Four factors from K-RI were extracted by factor analysis with Varimax Rotation. The factors of K-RI were "Unpredictable disruptions and disturbances factor", "Embarrassing circumstances factor", "Personal disrespect factor", and "Unpleasant encounters factor".
Conclusion: These results indicate that the Korean version of Reaction Inventory is a reliable and valid instrument to assess anger reaction.
