Abstract
As part of a larger study, 172 professional firefighters completed measures of sources of occupational stress and anger. While most sources of occupational stress significantly predicted anger, conflicts with co-workers, working with sub-standard co-workers, and not understanding how to use the latest technology were the greatest predictors of trait anger.
