Execution: Feeling Anger

A person experiencing physical conditions of increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure, and increased levels of adrenaline and norepinephrine, is most likely experiencing anger – if you are also experiencing the following emotions:

1. contempt, when you are most likely experiencing disgust, besides anger
2. aggressiveness, when you are expecting and angry
3. envy, when you are most likely experiencing sadness together with anger
4. pride, when you are enjoying anger
5. outrage, when you are unpleasantly surprised and experiencing anger
6. dominance, when you are angry with someone you are attracted to

An angry person tends to anticipate other events that might cause anger. Expression of anger is found in facial expressions, body language, and at times public acts of aggression. Psychological physical responses to look out for anger, are:

• Perspiration – sweating
• Horripilation – goose bumps, bristling of hair on skin
• Change of voice – broken and choking voice
• Trembling – throbbing and shaking
• Change of color – changing color of face and by pressure on the pulse and weakness of the limbs

Displays of anger can be used as a manipulation strategy for social influence. Anger can potentially mobilize psychological resources and boost determination toward correction of wrong behaviors, promotion of social justice, communication of negative sentiment, and redress of grievances. It can also facilitate patience. In contrast, anger can be destructive when it does not find its appropriate outlet in expression. Depending on its intensity it is classified as below:

• Annoyance – mild anger
• Anger
• Rage – intense anger

Anger is protective mechanism to cover up fear

Feelings of anger and fear cannot be experienced at the same time.

Emotions are fleeting —  feelings  they provoke persist and grow over lifetime
