IT is common knowledge that chronic stress and anger can lead to high blood pressure and heart disease. But a recent US study found that having a hot temper may also do some good. So this week's science question is:

Q: Is anger good for me?

A: Yes, as long as you keep it below boiling point, according to psychology research at the University of California, Los Angeles.

The new research found that, people who respond to stressful situations with short-term anger or indignation have a sense of control and optimism that is lacking in those who respond with fear.

Scientists studied Americans' emotional response to the September 11 terrorist attacks two months afterward. They found that anger triggers feelings of certainty and control. People who reacted with anger were more optimistic about risk and more likely to favour an aggressive response to terrorism.

So in maddening situations in which anger or indignation are justified, having a hot temper is not a bad idea.

In fact, it's at least a healthier response than fear.
