Anger, in general, is also classified as a negative valence which was originally attributed to withdrawal motivation. However, this emotion is more aggressive in its nature, allowing it be classified as an approach mechanism exhibited by increased left frontal activity. However, even the specific amount of left frontal activity can be affected by external sources and factors. In terms of social standing and power, those who hold a higher social standing tend to exhibit more anger and left frontal activity because their nature is to be outspoken and outright. On the other hand, those with low social activity are seen to be more withdrawn and cautious, which decreases their left frontal activity and arguably their approach motivation. When subjects are put into anger-inducing situations where they can bring about change and where they cannot, those who believe they can make a change express more activity in their left frontal cortex. This is also linked with their approach motivation due to the fact that if they believe they can make a difference and do away with the situation causing them anger, they will experience more approach.

Further, low emotional stability also suggests about an individual’s constant struggle with the feelings of insecurity and self-consciousness (Costa & McCrae, 1992a; Goldberg, 1993). Such people are prone to psychiatric problems. Thus, while lower scores on this factor experience a range of negative emotions, such as stress, anxiety, anger, embarrassment, disgust, guilt and fear (Rothmann & Coetzer, 2003), higher scores on this factor have a tendency to remain self-assured, calm and free from fluctuating and disturbing
