Motives of anger: Their structure, factors, and
relationships with responses
Kenichi Ohbuchi and Sachio Ogura (Department of Psychology, Faculty of
Education, Osaka University of Education, Tennoji-ku, Osaka 543)
We administered Averill's questionnaire on "the everyday experience of anger" to 123 adults
and 130 university students who lived in Osaka, Japan. They were asked to rate their recent
anger episodes in terms of the instigator, motive, response, etc. It was found that (1) there
were two factor dimensions in the motives of anger which were interpreted as hostile and instru
mental motives; (2) hostile anger was more aroused when the instigators were not so familiar
to them and had authority over them, while instrumental anger was more aroused when the
instigators were their loved ones or friends; (3) hostile anger, compared with instrumental,
was intensified principally when the subjects perceived their instigators had malicious intent
and (4) the subjects who felt hostile anger, compared with instrumental, were likely to wish
to commit aggression against their instigators.
Key words: anger episode, hostile anger, instrumental anger, aggression, perception of intent,
interpersonal relations.
