James Ambron , Joseph Nordo , and Yuri Mondesir A Comparison of Anger Appraisal in Immediate and Delayed Response Groups In the study , two groups of participants will be asked to reflect on a time they were angry . It is hoped that this emotion recall will elicit an emotional response from participants . In one group , participants will immediately respond to an emotions questionnaire whereas the other group will complete another survey instrument prior to the emotions questionnaire . The question of whether a time delay lowers the emotional response will be assessed by comparing the anger level reported by both groups . Findings could point to the importance of not reacting immediately to emotionally charged events .
