This study was made of annoyances, aversions, and irritations, including an examination of the situations or stimuli which evoke unpleasant feelings, an investigation of the way the stimuli are related to the affective experiences, how these associations are modified by social conditions, and an analysis of some of the more specific relations to the fields of genetic, social, and abnormal psychology. Some of the annoyances are strong enough to be characterized as anger, several are matters of disgust, and a few include an element of fear.
