Dimensions of Anger Reactions (DAR-5)

The Dimensions of Anger Reactions (DAR-5) is a short psychological questionnaire used to measure anger reactions and difficulty controlling anger.

The assessment looks at how often a person feels angry, how intense the anger becomes, how long it lasts, whether aggressive urges appear, and whether anger causes problems with other people.

The DAR-5 is commonly used in mental health research and emotional health screening because it provides a quick and reliable way to understand anger-related difficulties.

Higher scores may suggest stronger anger reactions, emotional frustration, irritability, or problems managing anger in daily life.

You will be presented with 5 statements about anger reactions experienced during the past 4 weeks.

Read each statement carefully and choose the response that best describes how often you felt or reacted that way.

Please answer honestly based on your recent experiences and emotional reactions.

This assessment is intended for adults and older adolescents who are able to understand and honestly answer questions about their emotions and behavior.

Participation is voluntary. Responses are anonymous and intended for educational, self-awareness, and research-related purposes only.

Higher scores may reflect increased anger intensity, emotional reactivity, aggressive urges, or anger-related difficulties in relationships and daily functioning.
