Metacognition, rumination and road rage: An examination of driver anger progression and expression in Australia
2022, Transportation Research Part F: Traffic Psychology and BehaviourCitation Excerpt :In support, dysfunctional metacognitions have been shown to be reliable antecedents of psychological vulnerability (Wells, 2019), present in multiple psychological conditions (i.e., generalised anxiety disorder, depressive disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder, psychosis, and eating disorders; Sun, So, Zhu, & Leung, 2016). Regarding anger related conditions, Simpson and Papageorgiou (2003) explain that individuals with anger-control problems, ruminate during and after anger inducing events due to positive metacognitive beliefs that are concerned with self-justification of rumination (e.g., rumination helps individuals identify weaknesses in their behaviour). In their qualitative study, patients with anger-control problems elaborated that rumination improved their understanding of anger-inducing events, but also provided self-justification for their aggressive behaviours.
The role of distress and fear transdiagnostic dimensions in emotion regulation choice
2020, Journal of Affective DisordersCitation Excerpt :Additionally, increases on the distress subfactor were associated with greater odds of choosing reappraisal. This finding may be attributed to the fact that those with high distress predisposition value engaging with their emotions when considering regulatory strategies, because it would allow them to reframe their emotional experience (Papageorgiou and Wells, 2003; Simpson and Papageorgiou, 2003). However, what they value as beneficial strategy may be discrepant from what they actually implement.

2017, Journal of Affective DisordersCitation Excerpt :This style of thinking, referred to as the Cognitive Attentional Syndrome (CAS), is based on metacognitions, which are the beliefs that we hold about our cognitive experience and how to control it. To date, metacognitions have helped to understand the processes involved in problem drinking (Caselli and Spada, 2013; Spada and Wells, 2006), problem gambling (Spada et al., 2014), nicotine use (Nikčević and Spada, 2010), procrastination (Fernie and Spada, 2008), anger (Simpson and Papageorgiou, 2003) and depressive rumination (Papageorgiou and Wells, 2001a, 2001b). The S-REF model is also central to Metacognitive Therapy (MCT), which has been successfully applied to the treatment of psychological disorders (Normann et al., 2014; Wells, 2009).
Domestic violence offending behaviors: A review of the literature examining childhood exposure, implicit theories, trait aggression and anger rumination as predictive factors
2017, Aggression and Violent BehaviorCitation Excerpt :More generally, research has been conducted into gender differences among those who are more likely to engage in rumination when compared to individuals who are prone to distraction and do not ruminate. Researchers have noted that generally, women tend to opt into being distracted following an anger inducing incident whereas men were more likely to engage in rumination (Simpson & Papageorgiou, 2004). This may explain the historically high prevalence of male perpetrators of DV, and the link between developmental risk factors (e.g. poor emotional regulation) and subsequent DV.
