Their study found that when a person wanted to stay calm, they remained relatively unfazed by angry people, but if they wanted to feel angry, then they were highly influenced by angry people. The researchers also discovered that people who wanted to feel angry also got more emotional when they learned that other people were just as upset as they were, according to the results from a series of laboratory experiments the researchers conducted. Their findings, published in June in the [URL='https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2019-32092-001'][I]Journal of Experimental Psychology: General[/I][/URL], reveal that people have more control over how their emotions get influenced than previously realized, the researchers said.
