On Anger
Abstract
The general assumption that anger is a manifestation of aggression has influenced all theories about both aggression and anger. The author believes, however, that there are clear distinctions between anger and hostility, a clear derivative of aggression, and that there are important distinctions between anger and: rage, hate, and violence. Primarily, anger has strong communication aspects for human beings and therefore has great constructive potential despite the fact that anger and anxiety are highly related.
