Fear and anger produce distinct and predictable appraisal tendencies
Fear and anger produce distinct and predictable appraisal tendencies, which reliably shape downstream behavioral outcomes such as risk-taking or risk aversion.
The retrieved literature, particularly studies utilizing the Appraisal Tendency Framework (ATF), provides solid empirical support for the premise that distinct discrete emotions such as fear and anger trigger specific, predictable cognitive appraisals and associated action tendencies.
