Anger is a normal and necessary human emotion but can also have an effect on an individual’s aggressive behaviour. Anger is a person’s response to things such as threats and it can bring strong, aggressive feelings as a defence mechanism when being attacked. When the anger begins to get out of control it can become damaging and this can then lead to continuous challenging behaviour. Being assertive is the healthiest way of dealing with anger; it enables people to suppress their anger and enables them make and meet their needs clearly and without hurting other people. Anger can also be supressed by allowing the person to calm themselves down i.e. walking or focus on positive things, however this can create a person to turn their anger inwards and hurt themselves physically i.e. high blood pressure, depression etc., develop a pessimistic/aggressive personality or even indirectly attack others.…

They based their studies on prison populations. This is also a form of the drive theory and attributes aggression to an impulse created by an inner need whereby frustration causes aggression and this forms a cycle where continued aggression leads to more frustration and then further aggression and onwards Bandura, 1978). In other words, there is need to expel or “catharsis” the frustrations from time to time or this manifest as bursts of aggression. Frustration results from the gap between expectations and achievements (Bandura, 1978). Other researchers have subsequently determined that apart from frustration, other causes exist for aggression. This theory has since been modified to include these factors including tension. In the modified frustration-aggression theory frustration only heightens the susceptibility to aggression (Coakley, 2014, Cox 2007). The frustrated person cannot postpone the urge to aggress or more frustration builds up. This theory does explain the spectrum of aggression seen as the response can vary from assertiveness for less frustration to instrumental aggression and even intention to harm someone or hostile aggression. However, research shows that the mere presence of frustration does not seem to suggest…
Anger is an emotion that we encounter sporadically, and we generally experience anger as a response to disappointment, frustration, threats, or from being hurt. There are many different causes of anger. Some people may experience or witness abuse as a child or an adult, which can develop in anger issues. In this situation, anger feels like the safest emotion to adapt to. The person may feel like acting out in anger will keep them safe from further abuse. However, changes in one’s brain chemistry may alter other emotions and can result in difficulty to control anger.…
Research in dialectical behavior therapy has been proven to be effective when treating suicidal ideation, hopelessness, BPD symptomology, bipolar disorder, violent, and obsessive conduct (Groves, Backer, Van, & Miller, 2012). Nonetheless, dialectical behavior therapy can be applied to anyone who is having problems controlling their emotions or hostile behavior (Groves, Backer, Van, & Miller, 2012). Results from dialectical behavior therapy have been rated with high satisfaction, outstanding treatment consistency, emotional stability, decrease in suicidal ideation and hopelessness. In addition, dialectical behavior therapy has also reduced self-destructive behavior bringing more meaning to the life of those who have been bullied (Groves, Backer,…
It is used in prisons, and participants may participate voluntarily or as part of their sentence. This is used identify triggers which may cause there aggression. By preventing aggression, the likelihood of crimes being committed is reduced. The treatment usually takes place in group settings and occurs about twice a week. A trained person runs the group. They are usually asked what factors make them feel angry and thus trigger aggression. Once this trigger has been identified, strategies can be taught which to condole and reduce the anger they experiences. An anger management programme will be based around 3 key stages; cognitive preparation (analysing past aggression and discovering patterns, and the offender also looks at the consequences of aggression), skills acquisition (where they are taught techniques that help them to manage their response to triggers in a more productive way.) and application practice (the offender to test their skills in a range of…

“Anger is a basic human emotion that is experienced by all people” (Mills, 2005). It is a natural response that is triggered when someone feels hurt or mistreated. Although, it is not just a clear-cut emotion that consists of one general feeling that is the same for everyone. The levels of anger that a person feels may not always be identical and there are varying degrees of responses that someone can express when they are experiencing this sentiment. How often a person gets angry, how intensely they feel this emotion, and how long it lasts varies for every individual. This results in a range of intensity of the anger that they express. How a person decides to handle this emotional signal can be a decisive factor as to any consequential effects…
In my personal opinion, the most effective way to evaluate a patient that is having a violent outburst is by using the method of behaviorism. The reason I say behaviorism is the best method of choice because the definition of behaviorism is the study of observable behavior . In the case of evaluating a patient who is having violent outburst ,a psychologist would need to apply the method of behaviorism ,and observed a patient to see what is causing the patient to have a outburst.Once the psychologist is able to see what is causing the patient to have violent outbreaks the psychologist will be able to treat and hopefully cure the patient of violent outburst .In my personal opinion behaviorism is the best choice to cure the patient of violent…
I fell in love with it immediately. It was all I ever wanted to do. Dance gave a place to just be me. I made lifelong friends and learned life lessons. Dance taught me discipline, drive and focus. While I on the competitive team, my parents would remind me that school came first. During Stage 3, we experience the desire to copy the adults around us. (Erikson, 1950) My sister, Jen, is 7 years older than me. She may not have been an adult, but I looked up to her like an adult. She was in dance, so I wanted to dance too. I happened to love it more than she did and continue with longer than…
It is said that school is second to home, and teachers act as a child’s parent. The role of a teacher therefore is equated to the role of a parent. One of these roles, and perhaps the most complicated one is the role of giving guidance.…
