Motivation And Emotion — Psychology STD 11 Humanities — Question

Anger is negative emotion in which the person loses control on behavioural functions. The major source of anger is the frustration of motives. However, anger is not a reflex, rather it is a result of our thinking, and therefore it is controllable by one's own thought only.Certain key points for anger management:

• Recogniging the power of one’s own thought.
• Realiging that the individual himself can control it.
• Avoiding “self-talk that burns". One should not magnify negative feeling.
• Resist having irrational believes about people and events.
• Avoiding being judgemental.
• Trying to find constructive ways of expression ones anger.
• Control on the degree and duration of anger.
• Look inward not outward for anger control.
• Always create gap between the anger provoking stimulus and your reaction.
