“…Russell and Fehr [] pointed out that these common conceptions typically follow the classical approach to the definition of concepts, and hold that anger has definite characteristics, “each necessary and together sufficient to determine membership in the anger emotion category” (p. 186). (Conventional appraisal theorizing essentially also takes this position [e.g., see Wranik and Scherer, ]. One of the troublesome aspects here, though, as Russell and Fehr [] noted, is that the proponents of this common approach do not always agree as to just what are these defining features and just what are the causes of this emotional state (see p. 188).…”

The common, everyday understanding of anger is problematic in a number of respects-in its inattention to the prototypic nature of this emotional state; in its failure to recognize the important role often played by the critical event's aversiveness; and in its neglect of the frequently close connection between anger arousal and aggression-related motor impulses. This article discusses all of these matters from the point of view of my cognitive-neoassociation perspective [Berkowitz, 1990, 1993, 2010; Berkowitz and Harmon-Jones, 2004]. The role of automatic, nonconscious reactions is considered, and it is also emphasized that angry feelings are linked to approach motivation-movement toward the perceived source of the anger. The article also briefly summarizes relevant research dealing with the self-regulation of anger reactions. This broad review hopefully will prompt further inquiries into the arousal, nature, and operation of anger.

“…De este modo, los practicantes de actividad física y deporte que sintieron que su familia los apoyaba "sin duda", presentaron menores niveles de temperamento. Esto puede ser debido a que perciben que sus familiares les apoyan en su práctica deportiva, lo que podría relacionarse con una mejor gestión de sus emociones negativas y control de su temperamento (Lastre et al, 2017;Wranik y Scherer, 2010). Por lo tanto, el apoyo familiar en el deporte se muestra como una variable importante en los niveles de temperamento de los deportistas y practicantes de actividad física.…”

El objetivo principal fue conocer las diferencias en los niveles de ira en deportistas y practicantes de actividad física en función del apoyo familiar. La muestra se compuso de 496 deportistas y practicantes de actividad física españoles. Se utilizó un cuestionario sociodemográfico ad hoc, el Inventario de Expresión de Ira Estado-Rasgo (STAXI-II) y la Escala de Oviedo de Infrecuencia de Respuesta (INF-OV). Los resultados mostraron menores niveles de temperamento en los deportistas y practicantes de actividad física que percibieron que su familia los apoyaba "sin duda". Por otro lado, no se encontró covariación del tipo de práctica físico-deportiva, los éxitos deportivos (locales, nacionales, regionales, internacionales) sobre el apoyo familiar y los niveles de ira en deportistas. Por otra parte, cuando se examinó el nivel de competición (local, regional e internacional) tampoco se encontró covariación. Sin embargo, sí que se encontró covariación con la competición a nivel nacional, encontrándose diferencias en el control interno de ira, a favor de los que percibieron apoyo "sin duda" por parte de su familia. Se concluyó que el apoyo familiar se muestra como una variable protectora de la obtención de altos niveles de ira en deportistas y practicantes de actividad física, la cual se ve influida por aquellos deportistas que compiten a nivel nacional.Palabras clave: Percepción, familia, deportistas, emoción.Influence of family support in anger levels in athletes. The main objective was to know the differences in anger levels in athletes and physical activity practitioners in function of family support. The sample consisted of 496 Spanish athletes and physical activity practitioners. To measure the different variables an ad hoc sociodemographic questionnaire, the Trait-State Anger Expression Inventory (STAXI-II) and the Oviedo Scale of Infrequency of Response (INF-OV), were used. The results showed lower levels of temperament in athletes and physical activity practitioners who perceived that their family supported them "without doubt". On the other hand, there was no covariation of the type of physical-sporting practice, the sport success (local, national, regional, international) on family support and anger levels in athletes. On the other hand, when the level of competition (local, regional and international) was examined, no covariation was found neither. However, it was found covariation with the competition at the national level, finding differences in internal anger control, in favour of those who perceived support "without doubt" from their family. It was concluded that family support is shown as a protective variable of obtaining higher levels of anger in athletes and physical activity practitioners, which is influenced by those athletes who compete at the national level.

“…Therefore, there have to be psychocultural mechanisms in the Culture of Honor that involve anger and rage, as already pointed out. Indeed, culture, society, and emotion have been found to be significantly interwined (Manstead, 2010), particularly with regards to mechanisms of individualism-collectivism, shame, anger, and violence (Gouveia and Clemente, 2000; Potegal and Novaco, 2010; Wranik and Scherer, 2010), these being the key mediators between social mores and criminal violence (Potegal and Novaco, 2010; Wranik and Scherer, 2010). It is, thus, necessary to ponder what role anger and its dynamics play within the Culture of Honor.…”

“…There is also the fact that society and culture have been shown to significantly influence emotional dynamics and expression, especially regarding anger (Gouveia and Clemente, 2000; Potegal and Novaco, 2010; Wranik and Scherer, 2010). This suggests that the Hyperculture favors an enhanced tolerance of diversity, social interaction, and dialog, promoting communication, mutual understanding, and peaceful means of conflict resolution, thereby counteracting the mechanisms and processes through which it is considered that the Culture of Honor promotes homicide (Souza et al, 2014).…”

Introduction: Theory of the Culture of Honor is one of the few models in criminology specifically geared toward homicide. It proposes that, in certain societies, men must never show weakness and are required to react violently to any perceived threats to their reputation, thereby increasing their probability of committing a homicide. This has been suggested as the main explanation for the high rates of this type of crime in Brazil, particularly in the Northeast. Underlying this explanation there are complex mechanisms and processes that have yet to be clarified.Objectives: The present research aimed to investigate the workings of the possible psychocultural mechanisms underlying the culture of honor and the process through which they might affect the individual propensity toward homicide.Methods: A total of 336 Brazilian adults were assessed regarding a broad range of sociodemographic, psychological, and sociocultural variables, including their attitudes toward homicide. The resulting dataset was analyzed using Smallest Space Analysis and Facet Theory.Results: It seems that certain cultural elements associated to traditional masculinity and enhanced anger tend to promote negative personality traits and increase one’s propensity toward committing homicide.Conclusion: The findings obtained not only confirm the Theory of the Culture of Honor for the propensity toward homicide, but also explicit and clarify some of the psychocultural processes and mechanisms involved, suggesting a new scientific framework.
