abstract="The nature of anger provoking experiences was investigated through the use of a multidimensional scaling (MDS) procedure. Content analysis of college students' responses to the question, &quot;What makes you feel angry?&quot; revealed 48 categories of anger eliciting experiences. MDS analysis indicated that these categories were characterized by three dimensions involving: (1) individual disappointments, inadequacies and failures related to unattained values, aims and goals; (2) frustrating events associated with the public, social aspects of the self; and (3) incidents associated with interpersonal exploitation. Additionally, the present investigation revealed that the relationship between a recent history of stress and angry life experiences was moderated by three types of variables: socially desirable and undesirable instrumental and expressive personality attributes; gender-role behaviors and preferences; and extraversion- introversion and neuroticism.<p />",
