 Jeremy yep

 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.

 Steve sheretta

 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
