Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2018/Anger evolution

Potential reference to look into
Hi there! I found a reference looking at how stress early in life can potentially affect aggressive behaviour later in life. The researchers used rats as a model and used MRI to look at the microstructure of the brain and what was affected. Here is the link to it if you were interested in looking at anger in as part of development, or looking at aggression in other mammals as part of the evolutionary perspective: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/ejn.14061?hootPostID=052c5f8b50f217c882a833c697aa7f13 Best of luck with your research! --YL Mariano (discuss • contribs) 01:53, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

Interesting research on related topic
Hi!! I was doing my research while somehow stumbled upon this paper that I think would be interesting for your topic. I think this could be used in creating the discussion around psychological implications of anger as a emotion and decision making. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/bdm.515 Here's the APA reference for this article: Lerner, J. S., & Tiedens, L. Z. (2006). Portrait of the angry decision maker: How appraisal tendencies shape anger's influence on cognition. Journal of Behavioral Decision Making, 19, 115-1 37.

I also noticed that there are two "Overview" paragraph, maybe the second one could be called "Anger"? Good luck with your book chapter! --Kelly.ng988 (discuss • contribs) 03:04, 03 September 2018 (UTC)

Comment
Hi, my topic is on the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) and Emotion. Just had a thought on adding informtion on how anger changes the body physiologicaly might help expand on the information you already have. Where in the the sympathetic nervous system (part of the ANS), has a mass discharge, which means that there is an increase in heart rate, pupil dialation, changes to blood vessils, movement of blood away form the GI tract to the brain and muscles etc. In a full fight or flight response that prepares the body for action. This might be a nice addition to what you already have on how the nervous system stimulates the adrenal cortex to realise adrenaline and cortisol. Looks great so far, keep it up! --U3160678 (discuss • contribs) 02:30, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
