Preferred term

anger in relationships  

Definition

  • The term anger refers to a powerful human emotion, elicited when individuals perceive that their needs, desires, or goals have been thwarted or obstructed by others. Given that friends and family members have the greatest capacity to thwart personal desires and goals, it is not surprising that researchers have found anger to be one of the most frequently experienced relationship emotions.
