  The Anger Scales include 37 items that assess anger in detail—including a look at antecedents to anger and ways anger is expressed.  The scale was developed by Alonso-Arbiol and colleagues (2011). The items are rated from not at all typical (1) to very typical (4).  Link to   List of Tests SCOPES domain = Emotion Reference Alonso-Arbiol, Itziar, van de Vijver, Fons J.
