Answer to Question 1

Passive-aggressive behavior is a form of passive resistance to others through procrastination, excuse-making, obstructionism, or poor or destructive performance of tasks where the person engaging in the behavior does not take responsibility for his or her actions or inactions. For example, a teen who reluctantly agrees to a parents' request to wash the family's dishes, procrastinates, and then accidentally breaks a few dishes when finally washing them is engaged in passive-aggressive behavior to avoid having to do the dishes in the future.

Answer to Question 2

In fact, anger has its benefits in that it can signal a person that there are problems that need to be addressed. It can also energize individuals to take action and to make constructive changes. In relationships, anger can signify that tensions are running high and feelings need to be assertively communicated to lower frictions and address issues.
