Anger Management

While you feel you are angry, it might not be the complete picture with what you are going through. When a person has the underlying feelings such as 'hurt', 'frustrated', 'humiliated', 'scared', 'rejected', at a very abstract and higher level he might say he is angry with this thing or that without giving a clear picture or detail about what this feeling is.




We can categories anger based on how intense it is, what is its duration, and what is its frequency:




High intensity anger --> Explosive Anger

Anger about long gone past --> Ruminative Anger

High Frequency --> Aggressive Personality

Bodily Changes --> Sweaty, Jittery Anger

Distortions and Deficits --> Magnifications, Attributional Biases

Yerkes–Dodson law

The Yerkes–Dodson law is an empirical relationship between pressure and performance, originally developed by psychologists Robert M. Yerkes and John Dillingham Dodson in 1908. The law dictates that performance increases with physiological or mental arousal, but only up to a point.
