According to the research, anger can help people scale through challenges or hindrances that might get in the way of their ambition.
According to nbcnews.com:
New research indicates that anger can help people overcome challenges or obstacles that might get in the way of their ambitions.
A study published this week in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found that participants who completed a variety of challenging tasks in a state of anger performed better than participants who felt other emotions such as sadness, desire or amusement.
Heather Lench, the lead author of the study and a professor of psychological and brain sciences at Texas A&M University, said the findings suggest that people can use anger as a motivator.
“We found that anger led to better outcomes in situations that were challenging and involved obstacles to goals,” Lench said. But anger did not improve people’s performances when it came to easier assignments, according to the study.
