Purpose of the study. The present study investigates the relationship between Rational Emotive Behavior Theory (Ellis, 1962), negative affect (anxiety, depression, hostility), the Transtheoretical Model of behavior change (Prochaska & DiClemente, 1983) and essential hypertension.

520 $a Purpose of the study. The present study investigates the relationship between Rational Emotive Behavior Theory (Ellis, 1962), negative affect (anxiety, depression, hostility), the Transtheoretical Model of behavior change (Prochaska & DiClemente, 1983) and essential hypertension.
520 $a Procedure. Subjects were 78 volunteers from the Mount Carmel Family Practice Centers. Subjects completed 3 instruments: Demographic Risk Factor Questionaire, Attitudes and Belief Scale-II (A& B-II), and the Multiple Affect Adjective Checklist-Revised (MAACL-R) trait form. The independent variables included 7 subscales on the A& B-II: Total Score (TOT), Total Irrational Score (TIS), Total Rational Score (TRS), Demandingness (DEM), Self-Rating (SR), Awfulizing (AWF), and Low Frustration Tolerance (LFT); anxiety, depression and hostility scores on the MAACL-R; and stage of change scores from the demographic questionnaire. Forward stepwise multiple regression analysis and analysis of variance (ANOVA) answered the following research questions: Research Question 1: What are the demographic risk factor characteristics of the sample? Research Question 2: Is there a relationship between irrational beliefs and essential hypertension? Research Question 3: Is there a relationship between negative affect and essential hypertension? Research Question 4: Is there a relationship between stage of change and essential hypertension?
520 $a Results. Data did not show a statistically significant relationship between essential hypertension and Ellis's irrational beliefs. However, data did indicate a moderate negative relationship between depression and essential hypertension (R = .234). No other statistically significant relationship between negative affectivity and hypertension was found. Finally, no statistically significant relationship was found between Prochaska and DiClemente's Transtheoretical Model of behavior change and hypertension.
520 $a Conclusions. This investigation set out to examine the relationship between irrational beliefs, negative affect, stage of change, and essential hypertension. Based on prior research, it was expected to find a significant positive correlation between irrational beliefs, negative affect, and essential hypertension, and that stage of change would explain a significant proportion of variance in blood pressure. These hypotheses were not supported empirically. Speculations regarding the findings are discussed. In addition, supplemental analyses are addressed regarding questions that arose during the investigation. Moreover, limitations of the investigation are considered. Finally, implications for future research are indicated.
