…my mousing behavior actually stays the same; it’s my speech pattern that changes.

The researchers tracked people as they moved their mice while completing tasks on the computer like paying bills or doing research. Some of the experiments were rigged to frustrate participants by showing them slow loading pages during things like timed tests.The researchers found that people who were upset navigated their screens differently. Compared to others, they moved their cursors around more slowly in longer and jerkier lines.
 
My prior mouse's realization that I was pissed off was short lived. Less then a second as it flew across the room before shattering into pieces on the far wall.
 
People drive cars differently when there is a traffic jam too.
