“…As an example, anger toward a norm violator may increase the moral courage to do something about the violation (Halmburger et al, 2015), which could manifest in different behaviors. In addition to behavior, other external variables to identify anger are easily imaginable, such as status conferral (Tiedens, 2001), implicit evaluations (Mauss, 2006), or other affective states (Miceli & Castelfranchi, 2017).…”

Emotions are part and parcel of the human condition, but their nature is debated. Three broad classes of theories about the nature of emotions can be distinguished: affect-program theories, constructionist theories, and appraisal theories. Integrating these broad classes of theories into a unifying theory is challenging. An integrative psychometric model of emotions can inform such a theory because psychometric models are intertwined with theoretical perspectives about constructs. To identify an integrative psychometric model, we delineate properties of emotions stated by emotion theories and investigate whether psychometric models account for these properties. Specifically, an integrative psychometric model of emotions should allow (a) identifying distinct emotions (central in affect-program theories), (b) between- and within-person variations of emotions (central in constructionist theories), and (c) causal relationships between emotion components (central in appraisal theories). Evidence suggests that the popular reflective and formative latent variable models—in which emotions are conceptualized as unobservable causes or consequences of emotion components—cannot account for all properties. Conversely, a psychometric network model—in which emotions are conceptualized as systems of causally interacting emotion components—accounts for all properties. The psychometric network model thus constitutes an integrative psychometric model of emotions, facilitating progress toward a unifying theory.

“…By contrast, other hostile emotions such as resentment and indignation are intrinsically moral—as long as by “moral emotion” one means an emotion that invokes the concepts of right and wrong (e.g., Rawls, ) and is elicited by a perceived injustice. Conversely, anger, if distinct from resentment and indignation, is nonmoral, in that it is not necessarily elicited by a perceived wrongdoing: for feeling anger against somebody, it is sufficient that one believes that this person has thwarted one's own goals or those of people one cares about, independent of whether the harmful act is morally justified or not (Batson et al, ; Dubreuil, ; Miceli & Castelfranchi, in press).…”

“…Consider for instance a wrongdoing that, according to the CAD model, pertains to the autonomy code and should elicit anger: a man comes home drunk and beats his wife (Rozin et al, , p. 578). No doubt, this violation can elicit anger, or better resentment and/or indignation, in that the woman has suffered a responsibly inflicted and unjustified harm from this man (Miceli & Castelfranchi, in press). However, it can also elicit moral contempt, depending on how it is framed in the mind of the experiencing person (either the wife or a bystander).…”

Contempt and disgust: the emotions of disrespect

Contempt and disgust share a number of features which distinguish them from other hostile emotions: they both present two distinct facets—a nonmoral facet and a moral one; they both imply a negative evaluation of the dispositional kind as well as disrespect towards the target of the feeling; and they trigger avoidance and exclusion action tendencies. However, while sharing a common core, contempt and disgust are in our view distinct emotions, qualified by different cognitive‐motivational features. Contempt is felt exclusively towards human targets, and implies sense of superiority over them, pessimistic feelings about their possibility of betterment, detachment from them, and avoidance driven by detachment; whereas disgust can be directed at a wide range of possible targets, and implies contamination sensitivity, fear of contamination, and fear‐driven avoidance. The differences between contempt and disgust are related to the different kinds of standard against which the target is evaluated, and the different kinds of disrespect engendered by the negative evaluation.

“…Anger is a common emotion and can range from mild irritation to fury (Miceli & Castelfranchi, 2019). Emotion scholars often ascribe the experience of anger to some form of goal obstruction or frustration that can be attributed to the intentional actions of a particular agent (usually another person; see Miceli & Castelfranchi, 2019 for discussion).…”

Paying the price for anger: Do women bear greater costs?

P rior research shows that the social costs of expressing anger may be greater for women than for men. However, less is known about whether anger expression is also associated with greater intrapersonal costs for women relative to men. We tested the hypothesis that outward anger expression would be related to greater depressive symptoms over time for women, but not men. A nationally representative sample of 942 community-dwelling adults reported on their frequency of anger expression and completed diagnostic interviews to assess depressive symptoms at baseline and 9-year follow-up. Moderation analyses using bootstrapping revealed a significant main effect of anger-out on depression. As predicted, gender moderated the effects of anger-out on depression, such that greater anger-out at baseline predicted greater depression in women 9 years later, even after controlling for baseline depression. Findings add to the literature by revealing the intrapersonal costs women may incur from anger expression.
