Emotion Specificity and Consumer Behavior: Anger, Sadness, and Preference for Activity (2004, background): “Depression has been found to be associated with decreased left-prefrontal activity (Henriques & Davidson, 1990, 1991), whereas anger has been found to be associated with increased left-prefrontal activity (Harmon-Jones & Seligman, 2001).”
Do Big Five personality traits associated with self-control influence the regulation of anger and aggression?☆ (2007, background): “For example, Harmon-Jones and Sigelman (2001) have found that relative left prefrontal cortical activity is associated with state-induced anger, which in turn predicted oVensive aggression.”

The emotive neuroscience of embodiment (2012, background): “Relative left frontal activity, on the other hand, has been associated with approach-oriented emotions, such as joy (Davidson and Fox 1982) and anger (Harmon-Jones 2004; Harmon-Jones and Allen 1998; Harmon-Jones and Sigelman 2001; Harmon-Jones et al. 2003, 2004; Verona et al. 2009).”

Interpersonal Rejection as a Determinant of Anger and Aggression (2006, background): “Harmon-Jones and Sigelman (2001) examined the effects of a devaluing insult on aggression.
