angerDefinition from Wiktionary, the free dictionary Jump to: navigation, search Wikipedia has an article on: AngerFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Anger is a feeling related to one's perception of having been offended/wronged and a tendency to undo that wrongdoing by retaliation. R. Novaco recognized three modalities of anger: cognitive (appraisals), somatic-affective (tension and agitations) and behavioral (withdrawal and antagonism). Anger may have physical correlates such as increased heart rate, blood pressure, and levels of adrenaline and noradrenaline. Some view anger as part of the fight or flight brain response to the perceived threat of harm. Anger becomes the predominant feeling behaviorally, cognitively, and physiologically when a person makes the conscious choice to take action to immediately stop the threatening behavior of another outside force. The English term originally comes from the term anger of Old Norse language. Anger can have many physical and mental consequences. The external expression of anger can be found in facial expressions, body language, physiological responses, and at times in public acts of aggression. Humans and animals for example make loud sounds, attempt to look physically larger, bare their teeth, and stare. The behaviors associated with anger are designed to warn aggressors to stop their threatening behavior. Rarely does a physical altercation occur without the prior expression of anger by at least one of the participants. While most of those who experience anger explain its arousal as a result of "what has happened to them," psychologists point out that an angry person can be very well mistaken because anger causes a loss in self-monitoring capacity and objective observability. Modern psychologists view anger as a primary, natural, and mature emotion experienced by all humans at times, and as something that has functional value for survival. Anger can mobilize psychological resources for corrective action. Uncontrolled anger can, however, negatively affect personal or social well-being. While many philosophers and writers have warned against the spontaneous and uncontrolled fits of anger, there has been disagreement over the intrinsic value of anger. Dealing with anger has been addressed in the writings of the earliest philosophers up to modern times. Modern psychologists, in contrast to the earlier writers, have also pointed out the possible harmful effects of suppression of anger. Displays of anger can be used as a manipulation strategy for social influence. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License How to help my friend control his anger? Q. One of my friend's has a terrible problem managing his anger. Most of the times when he gets angry he starts throwing things and sometimes hurts himself and others. Maybe it's frustration and anger. He has tried many times to control it but it never works for him. Are there any practical solutions for this? Maybe some meditation or yoga or some music etc?

But if he want to do it himself, he can read one of Anthony Robbins books - Awaking the Giant Within. I manage a large part of my life using that, with a large mix of other things. Great results. :) Answered by Michel - Mon Aug 31 17:22:59 2009 What do you suggest to do to relieve stress and anger? Q. I am 17 years young, and a very passionate person.

Asked by Cassie T - Mon Oct 16 11:19:09 2006 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments A. I would start with your regular physician and discuss your options. Important things to know going in this is that a psychologist is a PhD (non-medical doctor) and a psychiatrist is an MD. A counselor or therapist is different again and this type of license requires less education so there can be alot of difference between them. As with any health care provider, it is important to pick someone you are comfortable with. None of the above will be of any benefit if you are not willing to go in with an open mind. Depression and other mood disorders can look (and feel) many different ways. It isn't always severe either. It can be situational (something in your life triggered it) not a permanent state.
