However, both are professionally-designed personality tests (or inventories) meant for measuring propensities and states related to anger and angry affect. Factor analysis of the MAI has repeatedly revealed that the test is accurate in testing for Anger Arousal (reflecting frequency and magnitude of anger responses), as well as the range of Anger Eliciting Situations that the respondent is likely to be triggered by, as well as the respondent's general orientation towards a Hostile Outlook on the world.Īlthough both are designed to measure multidimensional anger, the IDR-MAT© should not be confused with the MAI, as authored by Dr. The modern findings on the MAI suggest that the IDR-MAT/MAI is still a valid instrument for assessing the respondent’s propensity towards anger. Siegel's original criteria have largely been shown to hold up. The original instrument is fairly old however, more modern, peer-reviewed replications of Siegel's original work have time and again found a high degree of validity to the constructs that comprise the empirical basis of the instrument. Recent concerns regarding the validity of its scales have arisen as newer inventories have developed its scales to work in settings like schools, workplaces, and correctional facilities.

The IDR-MAT/MAI is a widely used index and instrument for measuring the complex emotion of anger. The IDR-MAT© is not the equivalent of, or to be confused with, the MAI (Multidimensional Anger Inventory).
