Anger has been defined as a strong universal feeling of displeasure that may be precipitated by an event or situation which causes frustration or prevents an individual from reaching a goal. Ellis (2002) noted that anger tends to have four irrational responses that impact its influence over a given situation. These irrational responses are: 1) awfulizing; 2) can't-stand-it-itis; 3) shoulding and musting; and 4) undeservingness and damnation (not blaming and damning others).
