Abstract

<p>Two-hundreds and fifty-four subjects (124 adults and 130 university students) were administered Averill’s questionnaire on "the everyday experience of anger," in which they were asked to recall an episode involving intense anger they had recently experienced, and to rate it on a number of scales that were designed to</p><p>tap the objects, the instigation, the motives, their responses, etc. in thier anger experiences. The main results were the followings. (1) Anger was frequently directed at those persons which the subjects well knew, such as family members or friends; (2) Anger was principally instigated by frustration or an affront to their honor which were perceived by them as wrong-doing; (3) The aim of anger (the motives) were to correct the situations as well as to revenge, thus anger motivated both aggressive and nonaggressive responses; (4) When the instigators became aware of their anger, some of the instigators responded with apology but the others with hostility; (5) Every subjects showed any autonomic or expressive responses which seemed to operate as cues for their feeling angry; (6) Their subsequent emotional changes were generally negative, but they usually attempted to alleviate it through reappraising the event.</p>
