%X The widespread assumption that anger is a response to wrongdoing and motivates people to sanction it, as well as the lack of distinction between resentment and indignation, obscure notable differences among these three emotions in terms of their specific beliefs, goals, and action tendencies, their nonmoral or moral character, and the kinds of moral claim implied. We provide a cognitive-motivational analysis of anger, resentment, and indignation, showing that, while sharing a common core, they are distinguishable from one another because they comprise nonoverlapping belief¨Cgoal compounds. We also emphasize the usefulness of applying a belief¨Cgoal analysis to kin emotions because, by comparison, one can sharpen the analysis and identify the distinctive features of each of them
