<p>Anger is associated with many negative outcomes, including verbal and motor aggression, domestic violence, and revenge. As such, it is important to evaluate effective interventions to decrease state anger; however, one factor inhibiting this is the lack of effective approaches to evoke state anger in a lab. This in turn makes it difficult to systematically examine effective interventions. As such, this manuscript examines a novel approach to evoke state anger (autobiographical drawing memory task; ADMT) over three studies. The first study examined the effect of the ADMT on eliciting state anger on 17 undergraduate students (<i>p</i> = 0.009), and was replicated in a second study using 60 participants from Prolific (<i>p</i> = 0.001). The third study sought to expand this work by randomly assigning 103 participants from Prolific to one of three conditions after participating in the ADMT: progressive muscle relaxation, perspective taking, and a control group (i.e., distraction). The third study found partial support for using the ADMT to evoke state anger, but given that not all participants in the three conditions reported increased state anger post-ADMT, it is difficult to draw conclusions about the efficacy of the interventions. This study offers partial support for a novel approach to increase state anger.</p>
