Anger is more likely among the young, those with children at home, and the less educated, a new study finds.

A national survey of 1,800 Americans aged 18 and older questioned participants on how and when they feel angry in order to build "a broader social portrait of anger in the United States," said study researcher Scott Schieman, now at the University of Toronto.

 These angry emotions range from mild annoyance to yelling and feelings of outrage.

 While anger is a normal human emotion, it could be detrimental if you hold on to it too long. And those who express their anger might actually live longer than those who keep it bottled in, one study found.

 The results of the survey, conducted in 2005 and to be published next year, showed several key connections to anger.

 For one, people under 30 experienced anger of all forms or intensities more frequently than did older adults. This was mainly due to the fact that young people are more likely to be affected by three core stressors that can trigger angry feelings, Schieman said:

• Time pressures
• Economic hardship
• Interpersonal conflict at the workplace

 Time pressures had the strongest link to anger, especially low-grade versions termed "feelings of annoyance," the study found.

 Those who were under financial strain tended to report higher levels of anger, a connection that could be particularly important in today's flagging economy, Schieman noted. The financial influence tended to be stronger among women and younger adults.

 Having children was also associated with angry feelings and behaviors, such as yelling, particularly in women, the survey found.

 "There's obviously a lot of joys and benefits that come with parenthood," but other aspects of parenting, such as having to discipline a misbehaving child, can cause feelings of anger and annoyance, Schieman said.

 Those with fewer years of education were also more likely to report feelings of anger and were less likely to respond proactively in a situation that made them angry (for example, talking about what made them angry).

 "It underscores the power of getting more education," Schieman said. Education has been linked to feeling more self-control, which could be why those with more education tend to manage their anger more proactively, he told LiveScience.

 Schieman's findings will be detailed in a chapter of the forthcoming International Handbook of Anger, to be released in January 2010.

 

Ok here is my comment about this "new finding" Frankly if anyone didn't understand that those of us parents who are either single or those struggling with finances, They might have something to be upset, distressed about.. I mean good greif. WHAT KIND OF MORON.... Pardon my bluntness doesn't think that it might just be common sence that if  you have to choose between paying rent and feeding your kids.. that you might be a little stressed out.. or if you have to choose between fixing the car.. and feeding your kid.. or worse yet.. medical bills piling up and no job... in this economy and you need to get the debt collectors off your back before you go postal on someone ..... NOPE.. I SEE NO STINKING REASON WHY A PERSON MIGHT BE A BIT ANGRY... AND YA... IF YOU MAKE 6.00 DOLLARS TOO MUCH TO QUALIFY FOR FOOD STAMPS... OR  MEDICAID.... YA.. I THINK JUST ONCE THEY MIGHT UNDERSTAND THAT THERE MIGHT BE SOMETHING OUT THERE FRUSTRATING THE LIVING CRAP OUT OF PEOPLE..... 

In the land of the free, the home of the brave.. Big buisness is shipping our jobs over sea's and investing in foreign products, our  government is trying to spend money we don't have to give big buisnesses which as I just said are getting rid of our jobs... hence the lowest rates in decades in jobs available to the americans.. and yet they plan to tax us for decades to come to pay for a multi trillion dollar health care bill which will not actually fix the problems... AND YES I HAVE READ THE BILL. But they have borrowed trillions of dollars from china... giving them bonds that if they should want to cash them in all at once the american dollar would litterally be WORTHLESS.

No with a government who is so stinking ignorant, plus all the ignorant management of our government for over the last 30 years..... all combining at this present time.. I ABSOLUTELY THINK WE ALL HAVE SOMETHING TO BE MORE THAN ANGRY OVER.

BUT THAT IS JUST MY PERSONAL OPINION.....

TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT... FROM ONE FRUSTRATED AMERICAN SINGLE MOTHER.. TO ANYONE WHO WANTS TO HEAR ME..
