Positive emotions, such as happiness and hopefulness tend to make us optimistic, while negative emotions, such as sadness and uncertainty lead to pessimism.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eRecent research has established that one negative emotion, anger, is completely different in its impact than other negative emotions, often with disastrous consequences for the angry person and others. This research, in addition to showing that anger breeds optimism, has shown that the anger makes people:\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eexceedingly optimistic about the success of their own actions,\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eeager to act quickly, and careless in their analyses of the situations that cause the anger.

The above is true of most angry people, not just those who are prone to anger or violence. Blame plays an especially important role. Angry people feel an urgent need to assign responsibility for the event that caused the anger. The blame causes more anger, and the anger results in more intense blame. Blame and anger feed off of each other in this recursive relationship, resulting in even greater mistakes caused by the factors outlined above. Learning anger control skills, such as delaying action by counting to ten or self-talk can help prevent bad decisions; however, direct knowledge of how anger affects the decision making process can give individuals an extremely useful tool to avoid all the mistakes listed above. The Anger IQ game does exactly this.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003ePublication date: May 2012\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ChildTherapyToys","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43195496824926,"sku":"acb1787297486123","price":29.16,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/9662\/3198\/files\/anger-iq-adolescence-thru-adult_1.jpg?v=1787297491","url":"https:\/\/truestylefashion.shop\/products\/anger-iq-adolescence-thru-adult","provider":"Minha loja","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
