Brian P. Meier, Assistant Professor of Psychology, with Maggie S. Carter '09, Benjamin

M. Wilkowski, Michael D. Robinson, and Roger Feltman, published the article "'Hotheaded' is

more than an expression: The embodied representation of anger in terms of heat" in Emotion, Vol.

9 (2009): 464-477. Studies conducted by the authors reveal that heat-related metaphors are not

simply a poetic means of expressing anger but actually reflect the manner in which the concept of

anger is cognitively represented.
