Ridiculous that anything above 1.5 on a scale of 1-4 meets their criteria. Absolute garbage.

That is interesting - I actually looked for more information on the test they were using earlier and I could not find an online version for me to take.
Could you link me up?
Yep I also tried to searching for anything the author published and can't find
I can't even find the study because they don't say where it was published, it's not on her research gate or scopus and You doesn't appear to have a google scholar page. I just took this from the article saying 1.6-2.4 was moderate anger.
From the article:
"How much do social and political issues make you angry, even if they don't involve you?" The social and political issues mentioned included: the corruption issues of politicians, the government hiding its faults, biased reporting by journalists, tax evasion and tragedies sparked by insufficient safety measures.
These might not "involve" me but political corruption certainly affects me and it's completely reasonable to be angry about it. It's just bad research based on a flawed premise.
Nah I'm assuming the research was decent but the journo made it click bait. I always do.
Yeah we should totally be upset by corruption - I fully agree with you on that. But let's say they record something where people's daily routines are impacted by just the thought of it, then it would be valid to say that they have an anger problem.
I suppose the article isn't clear enough - I am certainly open to the idea that it was a flawed study.
