Like poorly managed stress, anger that isn’t handled in a healthy way can be not only uncomfortable, but even damaging to one’s health and personal life. Consider the following research on anger:

One study from the University of Washington School of Nursing studied   1   problems in husbands and wives. Researchers cited(引用) previous evidence that anger problems and depressive symptoms have been linked to all major   2   of death, but found that wives specifically found a greater association between anger and   3   of depression,   4   men tended to instead experience an   5   between anger and health problems.

According to a study from Ohio State University, those who had less control over their anger   6   to heal more slowly from wounds. Researchers gave blisters(起疱膏) to 98 participants and found that, after 8 days, those who had less control over their anger also tended to be   7   healers.    8   , those participants also tended to have more cortisol (a stress hormone) in their system during the blistering procedure,   9   that they may be more stressed by difficult situations as well.

  10   study from Harvard School of Public Health studied hostility(敌对行为) in men and found that those with   11   rates of hostility not only had poorer pulmonary functioning (breathing problems), but experienced higher rates of decline as they aged.

Research with children and   12   shows that anger   13   is important for the younger set as well. Findings showed that youth who cope inappropriately with their anger are at greater   14   for problem-ridden(受…支配的) interpersonal relationships. Their   15   is also at risk; those who cope poorly with anger tend to have more negative   16   when it comes to both mental and general health. This highlights the fact that anger management is an important skill to   17   early.

These are just a few of the many studies linking anger to   18   and emotional health problems, from the obvious to the   19   . Because poorly managed anger presents such a significant problem in so many areas of life, it’s important to take steps toward learning and using healthy anger management techniques in daily life,    20   stress management techniques.
