Abstract
Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) symptoms are associated with elevated anger; however the nature of these associations is unclear. We tested the hypothesis that anger perpetuates GAD symptoms and associated cognitive vulnerabilities by examining the effects of laboratory-induced anger on worry, negative interpretative style, and negative beliefs about uncertainty. Participants were randomized to an anger induction (n = 43) or a control condition (n = 34). An interpretation bias task, questionnaire items assessing beliefs about uncertainty, and a worry task were administered following the manipulation. Participants in the anger condition reported greater increases in negative interpretative style and in the belief that uncertainty is unfair and spoils everything than those in the control condition; however no group differences were found related to worry. Results provide partial support for the notion that anger contributes to cognitive vulnerabilities underlying GAD, namely negative interpretative style and specific beliefs about uncertainty.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
