Abstract
Anger often plays a large role in facilitating aggression. Additionally, the cognitive mechanisms behind anger can play a large role in how anger is expressed. Anger rumination, one of the cognitive components of anger, involves repeatedly thinking about an anger-provoking event and can often increase anger and aggression. Our particular study examined the role of anger rumination in anger and aggression when provoked. We found that provocation did not make participants angry, but it did decrease happiness. However, participants that were provoked were more likely to retaliate against the provocateur. Anger rumination did not moderate this effect right after being provoked, but it did increase negative affect after a ten-minute waiting period. Limitations and implications are discussed.
