Peer reviewedYounger, Jonathan C.; Doob, Anthony N. – Journal of Research in Personality, 1978
That anger engendered by means of insult or frustration is physiologically arousing has been demonstrated. This research was designed to investigate the availability of anger to misattribution, an attribution error, and, by this means, the effectiveness of misattribution in reducing aggressive behavior.

Peer reviewedFerguson, Tamara J.; And Others – Journal of Research in Personality, 1982
Administered caffeine to males (N=39) who were provoked or not provoked by a partner. Provoked participants attributed their feelings to both the drug and their partner's behavior. Angered subjects were more aversive when thinking they had taken caffeine but reduced their aggression when told the drug was a placebo. (Author/JAC)
