Material Detail

As a social emotion, anger is experienced through communication. Angry people tend to have distinct communication postures that they habitually take up when communicating with others. Psychologists have described four of these communication postures, each possessing its own motto:

• The Aggressive communications posture says: "I count but you don't count."
• The Passive communications posture says:  "I don't count."
• The Passive-Aggressive communications posture says :  "I count. You don't count but I'm not going to tell you about it."
• The Assertive communications posture says:  "I count and you do too."
