Document Summary
Causes and consequences of anger: fear triggers flight but anger triggers flight, blameless annoyances make us angry, anger can harm us; it has correlations with health problems. To get over anger, boys tend to do physical things like exercise, while girls tend to talk to others and be introspective. Is it healthy to lash out at people or to find a way to role-play that: individualistic cultures encourage people to vent anger, but non individual ones do no such thing. Those who see interdependence as essential see anger as bad and as a threat to group harmony. Anger breeds more anger- catharsis fails to cleanse rage. Venting to reduce anger is like using gasoline to put out a fire . Anger primes prejudice : happiness, people who are happier feel safer, more confident, and more easy to make decisions. If people are happier, they are more likely to have more successful careers and relationships.
