Change of anger for the betterment of
self
Abstract
The change of anger management for the betterment of self is chosen as a topic and explained below in
order to understand the outcome of anger how it can be controlled by strengthening the self-control
and understanding about the issues related to behavior changes. The primary reason of research is to
understand the anger and learn about the long-term effects of positive reinforcement due to change of
human behavior in a destructive mode. The environmental planning is constructed where two different
groups of people are studied in detail where the first group consists of angry people with a person and
the other group is the class of people who also express anger due to keep reminding of a sad event
happened with them in the past for which they are unable to control their present in a constructive
manner.

Introduction
Anger is a human nature and dealing with it is a matter of self-control which is mainly an issue for the
people which unconsciously a built-in element in the human soul. Mostly an anger input will result into a
destructive output rather than the optimistic or favorable output. Hence, anger is understood as a
normal attitude that exists in every human body, which is generally termed as a healthy emotion
present in the human nature. Most of the times; even unconsciously it generates as a destructive effort
in front of other humans that is indirectly self-destructive in the long-run; creating an issue for the entire
surrounding atmosphere as well. The person getting angry feels him/herself at a position of
embarrassment behavior that was uncontrollable in the past when the feeling was actually being
performed. However, the embarrassment feeling is noticed when the destructive behavior has been
passed away or at the moment the conscious state of mind becomes active and allowing the self to be
embarrassed due to destructive outcome (APA).

Here the light thrown upon knowing about anger in detail which is actually defined as an attitude or a
condition of a person’s emotion that transforms its strength through a low disruption towards a higher
intensity of losing a positive temperament. The anger can be acted by both the internal and external
occurrences; you might get angry on a person or at an event or it can be happen due to any worry or
being anxious about something by thinking about its adverse reaction or thinking about the issues or the
past sad instances can also give way to anger (APA, n.d.).

I have chosen the topic of “a change of anger for the betterment of self” in order to understand how
fruitful an anger work if we change its destructive performance towards self-betterment. Hence,
betterment of self is actually a general constructive attitude that not only assists a self performance in
production of favorable outcome but also spread a positive atmosphere in the entire surrounding of a
person working on the betterment of self through changing an anger.

Method
There are multiple of anger management strategies to resolve the problems associated with the self-
control that of which some of them being discussed are positive reinforcement, contingency contract
and environmental planning. The positive reinforcement is established when changing anger
demonstrates in clear terms the manner of dealing with anger for the self-betterment. Let’s suppose a
situation where you get angry due to a person who is already showing his/her anger in the surrounding.
In a condition where controlling an anger must be implemented timely comprise of a contingency
agreement with the person who is getting angry and find out the possible solution then and there; such
that, the surrounding atmosphere is termed as environmental planning. There are multiple ways of
controlling by just keeping yourself calm through an attitude of not responding to their anger because
an anger might enforce to behave with a person rudely that is not actually permissible in the present
environment because the person you are getting angry with might be someone very close to you in a
relationship or if not in a relationship then still think that a person is of your kind; an anger might distort
your own self-respect by expressing your negative behavior. The practices of self-control for dealing
with anger to deliver positive reinforcement i.e. self-betterment involves multiple anger controlling
therapies like by developing a contingency contract by activating your self-consciousness. For instance,
do not take anything personally, keep listening to that person, establish a healthy relationship with the
person getting angry by suggesting a solution to the problem mutually, keep meditating about the
problem when you are alone or think that you are alone by closing your eyes and by taking gradual deep
breathes (Anger Management Workbook, n.d.).

Assuming a scenario if you are getting angry on a person and its getting harder to control your anger in a
public place try to construct an environmental plan gradually by performing any physical workout such
that its positive impact will enable you develop a contingency contract by dealing with your anger
through positive reinforcement. A week exercise on controlling anger has demonstrated fruitful results
because a physical activity being performed in an anger control led to a healthy mind and body that
relatively demonstrates betterment of self.

Results
How people have dealt with their anger or changed their anger in a self-betterment attitude comprise of
multiple healthy results in a week exercise plan by constructing a following map.
The above mentioned map will be drawn to demonstrate a seven day exercise plan where everyday the
empty box will be filled by a person to understand self-anger. Hence, below graphical representation
demonstrates two elements when a person is angry or when the person is depressed in the perspective
of knowing anger. Hence, the frequency of destructive outcome of a person varies in the whole week
period and by knowing the anger and depressed frequency at the end of the week a person will be more
careful about dealing with their own anger in replacing anger with a physical act like swimming,
cleaning, running, jogging, cooking, etc. The results obtained through the below graph further
demonstrates about the depressed and angry candidates who were unable to control their anger and
requires a careful therapy session in controlling an anger or depression for the positive reinforcement.
Discussion

In the laboratory the findings of anger is studied by inducing the technique of anger which almost
identical to depression mode of the human behavior. The sample of people in two different groups was
chosen under the teen age men and women with the different moods and they all were allowed to
study their self anger for the whole week. The anger group were the people who were angry with a
person they were in a relationship with and the depressed people were the class of people who were
sad about the situation that has occurred with them in the past for which it was entirely difficult for
them to encourage their self in performing a constructive work for the betterment of self (Engebretson
et al., 1999).

In order to establish a self-betterment attitude through a change of anger; exercise on different types of
anger are discussed and how much an anger of destructive behavior can be transformed in the time
period of seven days at least through multiple sessions. The first day session includes comprehension of
anger through learning its causes and summarizing your comprehension about anger in three stages, by
making a worksheet of identifying anger and spreading the tips of managing anger by inquiring about
anger with self. The second day session switches to anger when you are in a relationship with a person
by knowing about the influence of relationship with the person you are getting angry with, in a situation
where you have a very close relationship then the perfect tip is that you must inquire other people that
how they deal with their own anger with a person in a close relation and try to figure out the best option
to carryout in dealing with the anger in a positive way that will eventually makes your relation more
stronger or healthier with that person by respecting their duties on you rather than stepping on the
rights of other people with whom you are engaged. Prepare a worksheet and mention the small and big
outcome of changing an anger in the weekend and let others know that how influential the things have
become and how positive they are in the long-run. Also remind people about the fruitful circumstances
of the changing an anger into a better of self; as an element of positive reinforcement and after carrying
out the exercise about the past behavior for the whole week find out the favorable results at present
and observe the positive change and compare with the past attitude (Bartholomew & Simpson, 2005).
