This document appears to be an anger inventory consisting of 25 situations in which one may experience anger. For each situation, respondents are asked to rate on a scale of 0 to 4 how angry they would feel, with 0 being very little or no annoyance and 4 being very angry. Some examples of situations included are having an appliance you just bought not work, being overcharged by a repairman, and having someone bump into you spilling coffee you are carrying. The inventory seems to be assessing the types of everyday frustrations and interpersonal interactions that may provoke anger in individuals.
