Three items tap a person's current feelings of bitterness and resentment, reflecting a belief that life is unfair and that others are receiving more favourable outcomes. Sinha and Bagchi (2019) used the scale in two studies with undergraduate participants. It is a slightly adapted version of Bryant and Smith's (2001) abbreviated hostile aggression subscale, which was itself derived from the Buss and Perry (1992) Aggression Questionnaire. Items are worded to capture momentary states rather than stable traits.
