The ADS uniquely captures a broader range of anger expression styles including indirect aggression, passive aggression, rumination, and revenge motivation beyond simple in/out expression.
When assessing anger in a forensic context, which scale is most commonly referenced for its ability to differentiate between anger and aggression?
