What is Approach Motivation? (2013, background): “Although individuals may occasionally enjoy harming a person or object that has angered them, empirical evidence does not suggest that individuals need to enjoy anger or aggression in order for anger to be linked with indices of approach motivation (E. Harmon-Jones, 2004).”
Event-Related Potentials, Emotion, and Emotion Regulation: An Integrative Review (2010, methodology): “Frontal alpha (8–13 Hz) asymmetries have been used to index affective style and differences in emotionality (Allen, Urry, Hitt, & Coan, 2004; Coan & Allen, 2003, 2004; Davidson, 1998; Harmon-Jones, 2003, 2004; Harmon-Jones & Allen, 1998).”
Portrait of The Angry Decision Maker: How Appraisal Tendencies Shape Anger's Influence on Cognition. (2006, background): “In support of this, individuals who are high on trait anger regard the experience of anger more positively than do individuals low on trait anger (Harmon-Jones, 2004).”
The role of asymmetric frontal cortical activity in emotion-related phenomena: a review and update. (2010, background): “…prevention) focus being associated with greater relative left (versus right) frontal activation at baseline (Amodio, Shah, Sigelman, Brazy, & Harmon-Jones, 2004) could be interpreted from a motivational direction view or an affective valence view because promotion (versus prevention) is…”
Anger is an approach-related affect: evidence and implications. (2009, background): “Harmon-Jones (2004) later confirmed that this pattern is not attributable to any positive feelings about anger among people high in trait anger.”
Thriving and Surviving: Approach and Avoidance Motivation and Lateralization (2011, background): “Though few would disagree that anger is a negative emotion, being elicited in the face of undesired or unpleasant events (Harmon-Jones, 2004), the question of whether anger relates to an approach or avoidance motivational system remains contentious (e.g., Watson, 2009).”
Applying the Theory of Affective Intelligence to Support for Authoritarian Policies and Parties (2019, background): “The underlying neural process is the same (Harmon-Jones, 2004).”
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).”
