Abstract

Anger is typically regarded as an extreme emotion experienced as reaction to threats, pain, dissatisfaction, frustration or other negative emotions. The beneficial effects of rage include conquering phobias and gaining confidence to deal with perilous situations or dangers that trigger the fight-or-flight reaction, whereas its drawbacks include excessive anger acting like a numbing substance on an emotional, physical, and cognitive level. According to State Trait theory of Anger there are two forms/types of Anger: State anger – is described as a subjective, fluctuating, and psychobiological feeling that changes over time. and Trait anger – Anger attribute is made up of ideas and behaviors that are consistent throughout time. Regarding individual variations in the frequency that state anger was felt over time, it may be considered a personality feature. The amygdala brain nucleus is thought to be the physiological origin of emotions. This region of the brain is in charge of detecting dangers to well-being as well as conveying an alert when such dangers are discovered, prompting us to take protective measures. It is important to understand techniques for Anger management and when used appropriately and methodically, behavioral and cognitive restructuring, relaxation techniques, communication skills training, Family or relationship-based interventions, problem solving and humor strategies have all been found to be efficient to be effective ways to reduce angry reactions. This paper examines the state trait theory of anger, nature of anger reaction, physiology, aspects, causes of anger and some techniques for anger management.
