Not really. If you see a stranger kicking a vending machine, there's a (well-documented!) bias to think "that much be a violent and angry person" instead of "that person is having such a bad day they're kicking vending machines now."

You could go dig all the way into material and social situations that caused a person to yada yada yada, but that's way deeper in.
