You are about to leave on vacation and your brother is driving you to the airport. Unfortunately, you get to the airport too late and you find out that your flight has already left. Under which of the following conditions are you most likely to feel aggressive toward your brother and want to scream at him?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Missing a flight by a very narrow margin, such as two minutes, is likely to cause more frustration and aggression because it amplifies the feeling that a slight change in behavior (e.g., leaving slightly earlier) could have prevented the situation, leading to heightened emotions and potential aggression towards the brother.
