According to the Watson and Tellegen model, fear and anger overlap in terms of their physiological arousal (such as increased heart rate and adrenaline release), but differ in the situational factors that trigger the emotions. Fear is typically triggered by a perceived threat or danger, while anger is triggered by perceived injustice or violation of one's rights. Therefore, situational factors distinguish fear from anger.
