Answer to Question 1

Although everyone experiences anger at one time or another, some people seem to be better at controlling their anger. Psychologists have several suggestions to better control anger. First, it is important to be aware of developing anger. It may be possible to head it off by making efforts to keep calm. Try to avoid getting steamed easily, avoid cursing or raising your voice, express positive emotions regularly, and oppose negative attributions with empathetic ones. It is also important to make sure you are not overreacting to a situation; be sure to review the evidence of the situation. Take the time for a competing response, like walking or counting to ten. Develop
confidence in your ability to manage difficult situations without resorting to anger by practicing adaptive thinking. Reinforce yourself for not getting angry even though you may feel justified in doing so. Finally, learn to express your positive feelings toward others.
