2. TSEOSOPHRY
Anger, also known as
wrath or rage, is an
intense emotional state
involving a strong
uncomfortable, and non-
cooperative response to a
perceived provocation,
hurt, or threat.
(wikipedia.org)
3. TSEOSOPHRY
The same article on
Wikipedia tries to
categorize Anger into
three types. The three
types of anger recognized
by psychologists are:
4. TSEOSOPHRY
Hasty and sudden anger
is connected to the
impulse for self-
preservation. It is shared
by humans and other
animals, and it occurs
when the animal is
tormented or trapped.
This form of anger is
episodic.
6. TSEOSOPHRY
Dispositional anger is
related more to
character traits than
to instincts or
cognitions. Irritability,
sullenness, and
churlishness are
examples of the last
form of anger.
7. TSEOSOPHRY
In this article, I try to model
anger differently. I called it
the Craving—Satiety Model
of Anger Management. It
tries to explain anger in
terms of craving and lack of
satiety. If we look at the
three types of anger listed
above, They all have craving
as their causality.
8. TSEOSOPHRY
Hasty and sudden anger
happens because of denied
safety and protection to an
organism. When animals or
human beings are threatened or
sense an intrusion from other
organisms, they usually burst
into anger. Organisms have a
craving and need for safety and
protection. Denial of these will
cause anger.
9. TSEOSOPHRY
Settled and deliberate
anger happens because
of unfair treatment from
others. This type of
anger happens because
of the organism’s desire
and craving for justice
and fairness.
10. TSEOSOPHRY
Dispositional anger
happens because of the
individual's personality and
traits. The person
experiencing anger has a
craving for acceptance and
a need to feel happy. The
lack of these feelings causes
anger in the individual
12. TSEOSOPHRY
Anger Expression
This section is adopted from
wikipedia.org
One simple dichotomy of anger
expression is passive anger
versus aggressive anger versus
assertive anger. These three types
of anger have some characteristic
symptoms:
13. TSEOSOPHRY
Passive anger
Passive anger can be expressed in the
following ways:[citation needed]
Dispassion, such as giving someone the
cold shoulder or a fake smile, looking
unconcerned or “sitting on the fence” while
others sort things out, dampening feelings
with substance abuse, overreacting,
oversleeping, not responding to another’s
anger, frigidity, indulging in sexual practices
that depress spontaneity and make objects
of participants, giving inordinate amounts
of time to machines, objects or intellectual
pursuits, talking of frustrations but showing
no feeling.
14. TSEOSOPHRY
Evasiveness, such as turning
one’s back in a crisis, avoiding
conflict, not arguing back, and
becoming phobic.
Defeatism, such as setting
people up for failure, choosing
unreliable people to depend on,
being accident-prone,
underachieving, sexual
impotence, expressing
frustration at insignificant
things but ignoring serious ones.
15. TSEOSOPHRY
Obsessive behavior, such as needing to
be inordinately clean and tidy, making a
habit of constantly checking things,
over-dieting or overeating, and
demanding that all jobs be done
perfectly.
Psychological manipulation, such as
provoking people to aggression and
then patronizing them, provoking
aggression but staying on the sidelines,
emotional blackmail, false tearfulness,
feigning illness, sabotaging
relationships, using sexual provocation,
using a third party to convey negative
feelings, withholding money or
resources.
16. TSEOSOPHRY
Secretive behavior, such as
stockpiling resentments that
are expressed behind people’s
backs, giving the silent
treatment or under-the-breath
mutterings, avoiding eye
contact, putting people down,
gossiping, anonymous
complaints, poison pen letters,
stealing, and conning.
Self-blame, such as apologizing
too often, being overly critical,
and inviting criticism.
17. TSEOSOPHRY
Bullying, such as threatening
people directly, persecuting,
insulting, pushing or shoving, using
power to oppress, shouting, driving
someone off the road, playing on
people’s weaknesses.
Destruction, such as destroying
objects such as vandalism, harming
animals, child abuse, destroying a
relationship, reckless driving,
substance abuse.
Aggressive anger
The symptoms of aggressive anger are:
18. TSEOSOPHRY
Grandiosity, such as showing off,
expressing mistrust, not delegating,
being a sore loser, wanting center
stage all the time, not listening,
talking over people’s heads,
expecting kisses, and make-up
sessions to solve problems.
Hurtfulness, such as violence,
including sexual abuse and rape,
verbal abuse, biased or vulgar
jokes, breaking confidence, using
foul language, ignoring people’s
feelings, willfully discriminating,
blaming, and punishing people for
unwarranted deeds, labeling others.
19. TSEOSOPHRY
Risk-taking behavior,
such as speaking too
fast, walking too fast,
driving too fast, reckless
spending.
Selfishness, such as
ignoring others’ needs,
not responding to
requests for help, queue
jumping.
20. TSEOSOPHRY
Threats, such as frightening
people by saying how one could
harm them, their property, or their
prospects, finger-pointing, fist-
shaking, wearing clothes or
symbols associated with violent
behavior, tailgating, excessively
blowing a car horn, slamming
doors.
Unjust blaming, such as accusing
other people of one’s own
mistakes, blaming people for a
person’s own feelings, and making
general accusations.
21. TSEOSOPHRY
Unpredictability, such as
explosive rages over minor
frustrations, attacking
indiscriminately, dispensing
unjust punishment, inflicting
harm on others for the sake of
it, illogical arguments.
Vengeance, such as being
over-punitive. This differs
from retributive justice, as
vengeance is personal and
possibly unlimited in scale.
22. TSEOSOPHRY
Blame, such as after a
particular individual
commits an action that’s
possibly frowned upon,
the particular person will
resort to scolding. This is
in fact, common in
discipline terms.
Assertive anger
23. TSEOSOPHRY
Punishment, the angry person
will give a temporary
punishment to an individual
further limiting a child’s will to
do anything they want like
playing video games, reading,
(excluding schoolwork), etc.,
after they did something to
cause trouble.
Sternness, such as calling out a
person on their behavior, with
their voices raised with utter
disapproval/disappointment.
