The article challenges traditional ideas about what causes anger by discussing situations where anger can arise without the expected triggers. The authors suggest that their specific appraisal model can explain these instances of anger. They clarify how cognitive processes and specific appraisals can lead to anger and explain how their model can account for the anger described in the study.
