Arousal from anger and stress is a common occurrence for most individuals. Research indicates that both stress and anger utilize the sympathetic nervous system to arouse a physiological response. Additionally, research indicates that similar situations tend to elicit anger and stress responses. Despite documented similarities between anger and stress, there is little research documenting how anger exacerbates physiological and emotional responses from a subsequent stressor. To examine in what way physiological arousal patterns associated with anger and stress, 22 participants' physiological and psychological arousal were measured in response to anger or emotionally neutral stimuli, followed by a stressful condition. We hypothesized that there would be significantly higher levels of both physiological and psychological arousal in the anger and stress group compared to the other conditions. A series of repeated measure and one-way ANOVAs, as well as independent sample t-tests were used to test these hypotheses. Results of this study found no significant difference for psychological and physiological arousal between condition type. Incidental findings were noted pertaining to a main effect for interval of measurement for physiological arousal. Findings are pertinent due to implications of social stress and anger frequency and their long term effect on physiological and psychological well-being.
