Objectives : There was some evidence that repression, denial, nonexpression of anger was related with colorectal cancer onset. But, according to the results of recent researches, aggressive hostility was related to the development of colorectal cancer. This study attempted to delineate psychological characteristics of patients with colorectal cancer and control group based on multidemensions of anger for cancer development. Method : The subjects were composed of 35 patients with colorectal cancer and 37 normal controls. The Spielberger stat-trait anger expression inventory were administered. Results : In comparing the patient group and normal control group, the colorectal cancer patient group showed significantly higher scores on anger experience, angry temperament and state anger. Patients and control groups were classified by means of the discriminant analysis together with state anger, angry temperament, angry reaction, anger-in, anger-out and anger control variables. Angry temperament variable was selected, and 65.8% of cases had been correctly classified. Conclusion : These results suggested the relationship between the disposition to experience and express anger without specific provocation and the development of cancer.
