While most of those who experience anger explain its arousal as a result of 'what has happened to them', psychologists point out that an angry person can very well be mistaken because anger causes a loss in self-monitoring capacity and objective observability. Facial expressions can range from inward angling of the eyebrows to a full frown. The external expression of anger can be found in facial expressions, body language, physiological responses, and at times public acts of aggression. Īnger can have many physical and mental consequences. Anger becomes the predominant feeling behaviorally, cognitively, and physiologically when a person makes the conscious choice to take action to immediately stop the threatening behavior of another outside force. Some view anger as an emotion which triggers part of the fight or flight response. Ī person experiencing anger will often experience physical effects, such as increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure, and increased levels of adrenaline and noradrenaline. 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.
