WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Measuring Anger Reactions, DAR-R Test

Dimensions of Anger Reactions-Revised (DAR-R) Test - Symptoms and Signs

anger

Anger is a common emotion that can be adaptive or clinically impairing depending on its intensity and impact. The Dimensions of Anger Reactions-Revised (DAR-R) is a brief self-report measure designed to screen current anger experiences and their functional effects.

The instrument consists of 7 items and typically requires about 2 minutes to complete. Respondents rate how strongly statements reflect their recent anger reactions, supporting rapid identification of elevated or potentially problematic anger that may warrant further clinical assessment.

In clinical and research contexts, the Dimensions of Anger Reactions-Revised (DAR-R) can be used to inform case conceptualization, monitor change over time, and guide treatment planning when difficulties with anger regulation are a presenting concern.
