Abstract

When we examined psychological variables, we found that physicians in the highest quartile for the anger scale had a higher risk of divorce than those scoring in the lower three quartiles. [...]the cumulative incidence of divorce among the physicians with the highest anger scores was higher than that of any other subgroup, with the exception of those practicing psychiatry.
