Rage against the heat: High temps make us angry, psychologist says

Phoenix, along with other places, has seen record-breaking heat this summer. If you’re feeling kind of upset or angry about it, Doug Kenrick says there's a reason for that.

Kenrick is a psychology professor at Arizona State University, where he studies social behavior.
