Conventional wisdom says to never go to bed angry with your partner. Also, don’t drive angry, send angry emails and definitely don’t post on the internet angry. But anger can help you, sometimes and in particular ways, at the office. It might even make you better at your job, suggests a new study that tested angry people in different emotional states performing tasks that required puzzle-solving and rapid-response skills.
The study, published in the latest issue of the Journal of Personality and Psychology, indicates that anger can help people accomplish challenging tasks more effectively than other emotions.
