Document Summary

Reading guide for the anger chapter by harmon-jones and harmon-jones (2016) Appraisals may be involved in the exp of anger but occur later in the emo process so they may occur simultaneously w anger or may result from anger, rather than being the cause of anger. They are sometimes to broad that they are unstable (ex the goal of not experiencing discomfort isn"t normally active prior to the exp of discomfort) It may not be necessary, instead anger may motiv inds to seek someone or smth to blame for the neg sit. This idea has been challenged by research that manip coping potential and found the manip coping potential influenced brain activations related to approach motiv but not self-reported anger. Proposing a commonality of anger rather than there being diff kinds of anger conception of anger exp = in agreement w the prototype view of emo concepts including irritation, annoyance, exasperation, disgust and hate.
