They did, but they also had subjects fill out a questionnaire including questions (not accusations) about their mothers' sex lives. One question was something like "with how many men besides your father has your mother has sex?" and din't allow 'none' as a response option.

She is interested in tried and true manipulations of anger – any references you have would be most helpful. I understand that it is a pretty hard emotion to manipulate (actually making people feel angry) and I want her to stay away from all the common sense manipulations that may or may not work (e.g., watch a video that makes you angry, write about a time were something made you very angry, etc.).
