It's interesting that many of you have brought up hate here whereas I purposely avoided using that word in my post. Hate manifests itself in many ways and can be caused by a variety of reasons. Sometimes we use the word hate when we mean dislike or intolerant of - I dislike cauliflower and racists, and I'm also intolerant of racism and cauliflower ... but can't get angry about cauliflower. However, I can't think of a situation where I could regard either of them as an irritation.




Hmm. In deference to doctors Freud and Jung, I feel that hate can manifest itself in anger. But hate, to me, is a learned mental state and is non intrinsic to our nature. In other words, we're not born hating people. We react to racists if we ourselves are victims of some type of bullying or intolerance on the part of others. We learn to hate such people. JMO on this one. And I have no problem hating such short minded people. But I hate acting like a hater with them!

FYI, the following quote may be interesting and relevant to the extent that negative mood subsumes anger. The text was actually using sadness. Anger in psychology, unlike sadness, is not considered a primitive (universal) emotion. It is usually seen as derived from sadness in combination with a self-discrepancy in how one perceives they ought to be (I have not much opinion about the veracity of this). Anyway:

"There is growing support for such a processing dichotomy, showing that negative mood triggers more accommodative thinking and the more elaborate processing of stimulus information, resulting in better memory, fewer eyewitness distortions, reduced judgmental errors, and improved ability to detect deception (Bless, 2001; Fiedler, 2001; Forgas, 2007, 2011, 2013; Forgas & East, 2008; Forgas, Vargas, & Laham, 2005)." (Forgas 2015, 137)

Reference:
Forgas, J.P. (2015). Why do highly visible people appear more important? Affect mediates visual fluency effects in impression formation. Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, 58, 136-141.
