Abstract

Background: Research has shown that posttraumatic anger is common after a traumatic experience, represents a risk factor for post-trauma psychopathology, and can be screened for using the Dimensions of Anger Reactions Scale-5 (DAR-5), a concise five-item measure. However, a French version of the DAR-5 is not yet available.Objective: We aimed to provide a French adaptation (DAR-5-F) and to replicate, in a French community sample, the psychometric properties of the original DAR-5.Method: After translation using transcultural psychometric principles, the DAR-5-F was presented to 822 fluent French speakers alongside validated scales of anger (State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory-2), anxiety and depression (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale), alcohol misuse (Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test-Consumption), and trauma exposure (Life Events Checklist-5).Results: Confirmatory factor analyses confirmed that DAR-5-F scores fit a single-factor model as described with the English version of the scale. The scale showed noteworthy internal consistency and robust convergent validity with trait anger. The screening DAR-5-F cut-off of ≥12 successfully differentiated high from low scores of STAXI-2, anxiety, depression, and traumatic exposure.Conclusions: The DAR-5 is a robust, psychometrically strong brief scale of anger useful for post-trauma screening, with the DAR-5-F now available for use in French-speaking populations. Future research that examines relationships between the DAR-5-F and variables such as trauma severity and posttraumatic stress symptoms will further improve our understanding of these phenomena.

  • Significant anger related problems co-occurring with posttraumatic stress symptoms are common with clients presenting to therapy after experiencing the crisis created by intimate partner betrayal.

    “Significant anger related problems co-occurring with posttraumatic stress symptoms are common with clients presenting to therapy after experiencing the crisis created by intimate partner betrayal (Aghamiri, Luetz, & Hills, 2022;Berke, Carney, & Lebowitz, 2022;Ceschi, Selosse, Nixon, Metcalf, & Forbes, 2020;Rachman, 2010;Steffens, 2005;Steffens & Means, 2009, 2021;Steffens & Rennie, 2006).”

    From Betrayal Trauma Anger: Clinical Implications for Therapeutic Treatment based on the Sexually Betrayed Partner’s Experience Related to Anger after Intimate Betrayal (2024) · cites this paper as Ceschi, Selosse, Nixon, Metcalf, & Forbes, 2020

    The Abstract says anger is frequent after traumatic events and strongly associated with PTSD. But the Method describes a volunteer survey, not therapy clients, and the paper does not establish that anger-related problems are common specifically after intimate partner betrayal. The Discussion also identifies assessment of PTSD symptoms in clinical samples as a direction for future research. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
