Abstract
Findings from the present study indicated that anger bias positively associated with aggression. Moreover, context-inappropriate (CI) anger positively associated with aggression beyond context-appropriate anger. Finally, CI anger moderated the relationship between anger bias and aggression. Specifically, anger bias only predicted aggression in children with moderate-to-high levels of CI anger.
