so I think the goal is to make people themselves aware, employees themselves aware of
their inclinations when they are feeling angry, it deceptions conceptualized as a cognitive
process and what we're showing here is how emotions can have a profound influence on
that process but we also want to urge leaders and managers to recognize this behavior in
their employees and perhaps intervene in that there's other related research that shown
that when people become aware that their emotions are incidental or irrelevant that can
also diminish the effects of that emotion on behavior and...

I know I guess maybe we touch on this but is this is different than a retribution where
someone actually does something to you and now you have a specific reason to be angry
at that person and might seek to have some kind of retribution but what in the study in
all of your research in this area? What surprised you what surprises came out of it that
you didn't expect that?
Jeremy yep
I think one big surprise was when we looked at the... so we contrasted how (people) angry
people with neutral people. when there was an incentive that was present and when there
was an incentive that was absent and what we found was that we were able to disentangle
the motive to harm others from the motive to pursue the self-interest so when people are
angry they're not being punitive in harming anyone around them, instead what we're
finding is that when people aren't angry that anger curtails empathy and that leads to more
self-interested behavior in this case self-serving lies.

It’s interesting... what sets this research apart from other research in these areas
Maurice Schweitzer
well I think I think one key idea here is this... this link as Jeremy explaining between
emotion and cognition so how we feel even if it's unrelated to the current situation
influences how we think and how we act and in this case we're linking anger with
deceptive unethical behavior so this is the first work to do that we often feel angry in the
