Appraisals, like how much control we feel and who we blame, are the main factors that decide if we feel angry or another negative emotion when something bad happens. It's not just about how bad the event is or our muscle movements. By looking at different emotions and what causes them, we can understand better how our minds work when we react to things we don't like. It's important to study the basic processes that create emotions, not just anger and fear.
