This study systematically compares Tibetan and American experiences of "anger". Using data from extended fieldwork in Tibetan refugee settlements of India, the author integrates methods and heuristics from cognitive psychology and psychological anthropology to explore Tibetan understandings and experiences of anger (Tib: rlung langs) across eight component domains. The researcher conducted face-to-face interviews to compare culturally normative understandings and characteristics of recalled experiences of anger across three samples of individuals: lay Tibetans (n=42), Tibetan Buddhist monks and nuns (n=67), and Americans (n=41). Analyses combined inferential statistical tests with qualitative ethnographic and ethno-linguistic analyses..
