本研究测试了相对左侧的中额皮质活动是否会更大，因为个人认为他们可以进行行为来改善诱发愤怒的情况，而他们认为自己无能为力。该研究还研究了相对左侧的皮质活动是否与旨在改善引起愤怒的情况的行为有关，而当个人认为自己可以做某事时。为了检验这些主要假设，反对大学学费增加的大学生暴露于一项试验无线电社论，主张增加学费，以及他们的脑电图（EEG）活动，自我报告的情绪和行为反应，然后收集。在听取社论之前，参与者被认为肯定会发生学费增加，或者可能会增加学费增加，并且正在散发请愿书以防止学费。结果支持了主要假设，并表明相对左中期活动与社论响应愤怒有关，并且该作用特定于中部皮质区域。
The present research tested whether relative left midfrontal cortical activity would be greater when individuals believed they could engage in behaviour to ameliorate an anger-inducing situation as compared to when they believed they could do nothing. The research also examined whether relative left midfrontal cortical activity would relate to behaviors aimed at ameliorating the anger-inducing situation, when individuals believed they could do something. To test these primary hypotheses, university students who were opposed to a tuition increase at their university were exposed to a pilot radio editorial that argued for increased tuition, and their electroencephalographic (EEG) activity, self-reported emotions, and behavioural responses were then collected. Prior to hearing the editorial, participants were led to believe that the tuition increase would definitely occur or that the tuition increase may occur and that petitions were being circulated to attempt to prevent it. Results supported the primary hypotheses and also revealed that relative left midfrontal activity was associated with anger in response to the editorial and that the effects were specific to the midfrontal cortical regions.
