"Four different emotions that we could all face in life"~~"Anger"

In life everyone goes through alot of different emotions. In this essay we will look at four different emotions that we could all face in life. The first emotion we will look at is: Anger,The things that people angry are pain. physical discomfort and the behaviour of other people either verbaly or physically. In most situations most people can make a judgement instead of a reaction. Some people cannot do this. Their rage takes over and they do things that could regret. Alot of "Temper Tantrums" can lead to aggression. Sometimes however anger can stop a confrontation. If a victim of bullying takes and angry reaction to what the bully is doing to them then the bully will stop what they are doing and stop bullying that victim. Anger is a difficult emotion to study because it is not easy to predict when someone is about to lose their temper. Most episodes take place out of the publics eye, which makes it difficult to study anger. Since most episodes take place in private researchers often tend to study the emotion of anger in a labratory using many different participants. One of the ways researchers try to research anger is by giving the individuals a task and then arrange for someone to "annoy" them in some wa, for example by talking non-stop or by interfering with the equipment that is given to them. Later on they get their revenge by teaching the annoying person a list of words that they need to remember and then they have to say the list outloud in the way that it was wrote and when they make a mistake they were given an electric shock. The idea was that the stronger the shocks that were given that shown how angry that person got. However there was a problem with this research. The participants were aware of the fact that their behaviour was being observed because of this they shown the researchers what they wanted. to see how angry that person become. A different approach to research anger is to interview people or give them questionnaires about situations that could be related to anger,and how often they lose their tempers. Resarchers often asked participants to keep a diary of everytime that they got angry. as if an individual becomes angry alot of the time then it is easy to forget why you got angry in the first place. Anger helps our bodies to get ready for an attack of some sort. No other emotion is able to keep our bodies at a high pitch for a period of time. Of all the emotions that we face in life anger is what we associate intense physical feelings with.
