C. S. Carver and E. Harmon-Jones have made an important contribution to the understanding of anger, its linkage to higher order dimensions of emotion, and potential neurobiological substrates. The authors believe, however, that their model and future research conducted to test it would be improved by a more precise explication and parsing of the primary constructs, a clearer articulation of the relation between anger and approach, and the use of methods for assessing brain activation that are more precise than the electroencephalogram. Neuroimaging studies reviewed generally fail to corroborate several features of their model.
C. S. 卡弗和E. 哈蒙-琼斯在理解愤怒、其与更高层次情绪维度的联系以及潜在的神经生物学基础方面做出了重要贡献。然而，作者认为，通过对主要结构进行更精确的阐释和剖析、更清晰地阐明愤怒与趋近之间的关系，以及使用比脑电图更精确的脑激活评估方法，他们的模型及为检验该模型而进行的未来研究将会得到改进。所综述的神经影像学研究普遍未能证实其模型的几个特征。
