A new research has mentioned that young people having children and are less educated are more prone to develop anger.
Even though well-educated also get angry, the chances are less when compared to those who had lesser education.
Drawing upon a national survey of more than 1,000 Americans aged 18 and older, Scott Schieman, sociology professor at the University of Toronto (UT), has come up with new findings about the most common negative emotion - anger.
The study proves that younger people are more prone to become angry than older people as they are more subjected to time pressures, economic hardship, and interpersonal conflict at the workplace.
The major indicator of anger is the feeling that the person needs to rush as time is less. Having children at home is associated with angry feelings and behaviour. The research also mentions that women showcase more anger than men.
Yet another case where individuals showcase higher levels of anger is when they experience a higher amount of financial strain, which is also seen more in women and younger adults.
"The sociological analysis of anger can shed light on the ways that the conditions of society influence emotional inequality," says Schieman.
These findings will be published in the International Handbook of Anger in January.
