Anger Is Different From Fear in Anger

I wouldn't use the language essential characteristic and I'm not sure I would have to kind of think about what I think of that terminology. But it's definitely the case that anger is different from fear in anger involves a perceived injustice or something that's been intentionally inflicted on you, right? And the same thing with other emotions like fear. You know, there's an appraisal of threat to something you presumably, you know, care about, or just to your bodily integrity to your life, your survival, etc. Sadness, there's a loss. So in that sense, yeah emotions are differentiated on the nature of the appraisal that they activate for you.
