Increased work pressure, lifestyle modifications, and deteriorated living conditions brought on by Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can exacerbate mental health concerns such as anxiety, sleeplessness, depression, and stress-related illnesses. Recent studies have shown that a high burden of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety disorders, stress, panic attacks, impulsivity, irrational anger, somatization disorder, sleep disorders, emotional disturbance, symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, and suicidal thoughts, may be experienced by COVID-19 survivors. Due to differences in their susceptibility to infection and lifestyle factors, people with different medical conditions and social roles may have various kinds and severities of mental health problems. This study aimed to provide essential insights into the prevalence, types, and linkages of various mental health issues to improve patient outcomes, guide future treatments, and advance holistic well-being. This cross-sectional study examined the prevalence of common mental health issues among patients receiving treatment at Ayurvedic health centers in Udupi Taluk. Five Ayurvedic centers were chosen randomly from 275 Ayurvedic centers registered in Udupi Taluk. A total of 423 patients aged 18 years and above were selected for this study. The Perceived Stress Scale and Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) were used to collect data. The study revealed the presence of some level of perceived stress and depression among the participants. The factor associated with stress was the educational status of participants (p =0.01). The comparison between different stress levels revealed that moderate stress levels were significantly higher among participants with a lower educational status. According to a study on perceived stress levels and educational status, participants with lower educational status reported feeling more stressed than those with higher educational status.

Facial dimensions and ratios are important anthropometric parameters which have been used over the years to define and predict some physical and social characteristics notably among human behaviour like aggression. However, there is a paucity of data regarding this link among the African population, particularly in Northeastern Nigeria where high cases of insurgency, banditry and some aggressive related criminalities are reported daily. The study aimed to determine how linear facial dimensions or ratios can specifically predict a self-reported form of aggression (physical, verbal, anger and hostility) among undergraduate students. A cross-sectional study design was adopted whereby a total of 400 (200 male and 200 female) adult undergraduate students aged between 16 to 30 years were randomly selected. A 2D facial images were used to determine facial biometrics (four linear facial dimensions ((n-sn, sn-gn, go-go and zy-gy) and five facial ratios {upper facial weight/lower facial height (UFW/LFH), upper facial weight/lower facial weight (UFW/LFW), upper facial weight/upper facial height (UFWUFH) and upper facial height/facial height (UFH/FH) and facial weight to height ratio (fWHR) - lower derived from the measured linear dimensions using a Sony digital camera DSC w380 and art face 3 software. Buss and Perry's aggression questionnaire was adopted, and scores for each aggression scale were recorded. Data analysis was done using IBM SPSS software version 22 and Cronbach’s alpha for each scale above 0.70. Pearson’s correlation analysis was used to determine the relationship of facial biometrics with aggressive tendencies. The study observed that lower facial height (sn-gn) significantly correlates with verbal aggression and anger irrespective of sex. Facial height (FH) also correlates with verbal aggression in both sexes, while fWHR correlates significantly with anger (AN) irrespective of sex. More so, lower facial height to facial height ratio (LFH/FH) correlates significantly with verbal aggression (VA) and anger (AN) irrespective of sex but correlates with the same in males only. Similarly, upper facial weight to lower facial height (UFW/LFH) correlates significantly with verbal aggression and anger irrespective of sex and with anger only in males. Stepwise multiple linear regression equations were formed for the parameters which showed a positive correlation with aggression and consequently UFW/LFH and UFW/LFW were the best predictors of aggressive tendencies (P = 0.01). Conclusively, facial characteristics are indicators of one’s mood and can weakly predict aggressive tendencies in an individual and may be useful to predict suitable partners in marriage, friendship, or recruitment exercise.

ABSTRACT Building upon the work of Agnes Callard on the moral philosophy and psychology of anger, I attempt to critically reframe the ways in which the anger of internal critics and dissidents within psychoanalysis is understood. Through a consideration of the literature, and of my own intergenerational family history (with psychoanalysis and otherwise), I offer a challenge to a common (and, I argue, often bigoted) framing of such anger as wantonly rageful and indicative of a desire to destroy psychoanalysis. Rather, I propose we should understand and engage with this anger as provoked by a failure of white-, straight-, and male-dominated institutions and communities to join with and share psychoanalysis with people not from those groups. In this light, the anger of internal critics of psychoanalysis should properly be understood as both a protest and an invitation into a process of contrition and repair that can return all parties to a state of co-valuation of, and cohabitation in, the psychoanalytic community.

Abstract George Floyd's murder by a white policeman has sparked the largest urban uprising in US cities since the 1960s. By contextualising this wave of uprisings in the broader context of similar uprisings in twenty‐first‐century US cities, this paper shows that such an uprising has long been in the making with the violence, murders and revolts that have marked US cities since the turn of the century. My argument in this paper is against the pathological framing of these uprisings that evokes the alleged irrational anger of those who participate in the uprisings and the bad behaviour of a few police officers. Such a framing directs attention away from the structural violence that is at the source of these uprisings, and perpetuates racialised images of those who participate in the uprisings as irrational and impulsive. These uprisings, I argue, are not the actions of irrationally angry individuals mindlessly following the crowds; they cannot be reduced to gratuitous looting and burning, and they are not triggered by some police officers behaving badly. The sources of this urban rage lie in systematic, mostly unchecked, violence. The rage that erupts in these uprisings is a political emotion guided by cognition and judgements about right and wrong, just and unjust, rather than a pathological reaction spurred by uncontrollable impulses. It is a deliberate response to white contempt and the violence associated with it.

This article uses collaborative auto/ethnography to explore the circulation and potentiality of affect in the live performances and archive of Pretty Porky and Pissed Off (PPPOd), a Toronto-based queer fat activist performance art collective active during the late 1990s and mid-2000s. Drawing on video and audio recordings of five PPPOd performances alongside other performance ephemera and a series of conversations relating to these archival objects among the article’s three authors, we identify and theorize our affective responses to and situated recollections of these performances, both in their current form as archival objects and as historical live events. We argue that PPPOd’s archival objects/live performances disrupt the constellation of affects that constitute fat hate (e.g., fear, loathing, shame) and set in motion more affirmative affects (e.g., playfulness, pride, desire, love) that contribute to micro-worldings and prefigurative fat politics, as ephemeral as these might be. In capturing these fleeting moments of radical possibility, PPPOd’s activism and archive offer opportunities for touching and feeling a future where fat lives are more livable.

ABSTRACT This photo essay is about the process of creating a digital archive dedicated to Pretty Porky and Pissed Off, a Toronto-based fat activist and performance art collective active in the late 1990s and early 2000s. As a leading member of the collective and the project’s principal investigator (Allyson Mitchell) and the project’s researcher archivist (Allison Taylor) we explore the affective potential of the visual archival fat representations produced through Pretty Porky and Pissed Off’s artistic practice. We first provide an overview of the Pretty Porky and Pissed Off archive project. Second, we contextualize our photo essay within queer and fat studies scholarship on affect, archives, and the visual. Third, we present a set of stills from archival video footage of a Pretty Porky and Pissed Off clothing swap in Allyson Mitchell’s art studio. Using these stills, we consider the affectively rich nature of visual archival representations of fatness. We suggest that feelings are a central component of visual archival fat representations; feelings offer important insights about the potential of visual artistic and archival practices to represent, embody, and imagine fatness otherwise.

Many individuals become aggressive in reaction to an actual or potential danger, or it can be a learned behaviour that assists them in meeting their needs. Anger is a natural emotion that everyone feels at different moments. It is, in effect, a normal reaction to a challenge, assisting us in preparing for defence or standing up for ourselves It usually occurs as a response to thoughts or feelings such as pain, irritation, worry, envy, discomfort, rejection, or shame. The purpose of this investigation is to examine effects of trait anger (AN) and aggressiveness (AG) on life satisfaction (LS) of general adult population, as well as to determine whether trait anger (AN) moderates the mediating effect of aggressiveness (AG) in the schadenfreude (SCH) – life satisfaction (LS) relationship. 390 individuals responded to an online investigation, selected via convenience sampling. Trait anger was found to moderate the effect of schadenfreude and life satisfaction. Increased levels of aggressiveness were linked to low levels of life satisfaction. Conditional effects found a stronger association between schadenfreude and aggressiveness for those low in trait anger relative to those high in trait anger. Participants with low scores in trait anger and high scores in schadenfreude had higher levels of aggressiveness than individuals with lows cores in trait anger. Conclusions and implications are discussed.

Anger versus fear about crime: how common is it, where does it come from, and why does it matter?

Martha C. Nussbaum, Anger and Forgiveness: Resentment, Generosity, Justice

Background: More awareness of anger in different social situations can help us to manage it efficiently. Unfortunately, the questionnaire measuring these differences hasn't been validated in Iran. The primary purpose of this study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Springer anger control skills test. Method: The statistical population of this study was 200 college students consisted of 180 undergraduate, 15 M.Sc, and 5 Ph.D. students at Shiraz University. A random sampling method was used in this research. Springer anger control skills test was completed to assess the validity and reliability, Cronbach's alpha and internal validity, and exploratory factor analysis was used. Results: Results indicated the reliability of 0.62 and a significant value (0.001). KMO value was 0.45. Also, a significant difference was found between males and females in anger‏ management and allocated to sociality and non-family relationships (0.001). Simultaneously, there was no significant difference between females and males in other variables and subscales of anger control. Conclusion: Findings illustrate that this scale is reliable and valid and can be used in a clinical context. The difference between male and female in controlling anger in social situations can be related to Cultural influences and having more education; also, this sample only represents the population who had a higher level of education in comparison to others. Besides, they have received more educational training and necessary skills to cope with impulses and social encounters more appropriately.

This article provides a glimpse into the story and meaning of the Bebegig Sukamantri Mask which is used in the art of a sustainable and fast-growing folk carnival in West Java, Indonesia. The masks used in the carnival are unique and are an expression of the cultural heritage left by the ancestors of the ancient Sundanese people in West Java. Each mask creation, in various colors and shapes, derives from the face of Batarakala, who is a very well-known figure in Hindu culture and represents the god of anger. Based on the various shapes and colors of the masks, there are three groups, which are believed to relate to the mythology of the existence of astral creatures that protected ancient Sundanese people, namely Rakshasa for the nobility, Detya for the common people and Denawa for the clergy. The existence of these astral beings is found in the 15th-century ancient manuscript entitled Sanghyang Siksa Kanda ing Karesian (a clue to Reshi). Preserving the Bebegig Sukamantri mask as part of ancient Sundanese cultural heritage is a worthwhile goal because of its uniqueness and its significance for future generations. It is, moreover, greatly appreciated as a cultural carnival event at both national and international level.

Introduction: Critical care units (CCUs) is fast-based treatment, which includes highly technologically focused arrangements for invasive and non-invasive procedures with high intensity interventions. Causes of psycho-social distress: Acute distressing events, Situational-related to an external event/situation Maturational, dismemberment, accession, demoralization, alteration in selfconcept and body image, pain and excessive anxiety, depersonalization, social isolation and separation, impaired communication. Clinical Manifestations: Psychological immobility, powerlessness, loneliness, helplessness, hopelessness, avoidance and denial, hostility and anger, anxiety, depression and sadness, diminished sexual drive, insomnia, fear, withdrawn behavior. Management: The nurse is the most responsible person for the CCU patient's emotional well-being She acts as a stabilizer in an ever-changing and uncertain environment and is with the patient continuously She observes the personality, changes in physical status sees positive and negative behaviour manifestations She is the link between the patient and his family, patient and the team. She has a human compassionate aspect to her nature. Conclusion: Patient management requires the coordinated effort of multiple disciplines to define goals and strategies to achieve them in se define the profession only by tasks and data gathering, then nurses are on the endangered species list Nurses must define and perform their unique professional role in a way that emphasizes human interaction, critical thinking, problem solving.

Maternal anger has been overlooked as a postnatal mood disturbance. The empirical literature supports a strong relationship between sleep and mental health. Proportions of women experiencing anger and whether maternal-infant sleep problems are associated with anger as a postpartum mood disturbance are unknown. Social media was used to recruit Canadian mothers of infants between 6 and 12 months of age to complete an online survey about maternal-infant sleep after receiving ethical approval. The survey inquired about maternal-infant sleep quality, maternal fatigue, cognitions about infant sleep, support, anger, and depressive symptoms. A subset of women completing the online survey participated in telephone interviews, with the goal of generating a theory about anger after childbirth. Phone interviews were transcribed and data were analyzed using grounded theory methods. Of the 278 women who completed the survey, 70% perceived their infant’s sleep as problematic. Regarding mood, 31% had high levels of anger and 26% had depressive symptoms above the cut-off score. Robust regression analysis revealed that parity (b = 1.93, p < .001), depression (b = .50, p = .008), and anger about infant sleep (b = .46, p < .001), predicted maternal postpartum anger. An interaction term between anger about infant sleep and infant age also predicted maternal anger (b = 0.13, p <.001). Eighteen mothers described their experiences of anger in their first two postpartum years. Mothers’ violated expectations, compromised needs, and being on edge contributed to feeling angry. Appropriate support from partners, family, and others, helped women manage their anger. Absent and inappropriate support prolonged maternal anger about violated expectations and compromised needs, particularly about infant sleep issues. Participants expressed or suppressed their anger with differing effects on support, relationships, and control. Anger in the postpartum period has negative effects for women and families; it can be comorbid with insomnia and depression symptoms. Clinician support around evidence-based strategies to promote maternal-infant sleep and family members’ support to help meet womens’ psychosocial and physical needs can reduce anger. Women require screening for anger and sleep problems after childbirth. Policy change required include structural support for women and families in the postnatal period.

The Meteoric blooming of social media services has created freakish opportunities for people to publicly express their views, opinions, and attitudes through various mediums such as text, voice and video. These opinions, views, and attitudes contain user emotion. Emotions sculpt a very indispensable and elementary aspect of people's existence. With the emerging social media analyzing the emotion depicted by the user through single emotion recognition system is much hard to satisfy the demands of emotional recognition system. Aiming to optimize the performance of the emotional recognition system, a score level fusion of bi-modal emotional recognition system SFBM_TS from text and speech was proposed in this paper. It focuses to predict the emotion into four class joy, sad, anger and fear. Initially text is analyzed through selective lexicon based BI-LSTM method and in parallel the speech is analyzed through deep learning network. Finally it employs the score level fusion of both text and speech by combining each class resulted scores of both method and takes the weighted average score for each emotion class. The emotion class which has the highest average score is finalized as the result. To precise the emotion classification process text data is assigned with 0.6 weights and speech is assigned with 0.4 weights. The definitive emotional state was determined by the output of both audio and text emotion analysis. As a result the accuracy of proposed model SFBM_TS is higher than that of the single emotion recognition modals by 5%.

Influence of Social Exclusion on Popular Product Preference: Moderating Effect of Anger and Physical Warmth

Background. Sports performance is largely determined by the psychophysiological characteristics of a person, including the level of aggression. Therefore, early diagnosis of changes in the level of aggression and its relationship with neurophysiological characteristics in young athletes remains relevant. Aim. The paper aims to establish relationship between the level of aggression with the neurophysiological status and biological maturation of adolescent athletes. Materials and methods. 90 hockey players ages 12–14 with similar sports skills were examined. When forming groups, the correspondence of biological age to passport age (mediants, retardants, accelerants) was taken into account according to anthropometric data and the signs of puberty. A comparative analysis of aggression and its components (physical, verbal, anger or hostility) was carried out based on the results of the Buss-Perry Aggression questionnaire. To identify the relationship between aggression, the neurophysiological status and biological maturation, a cluster analysis was carried out. Results. The relationship between aggression, biological maturation and the neurophysiological status of young athletes was established. The studied parameters are combined in several clusters with a high (0.751–0.875) and average (0.626–0.750) degree of correlation. It was revealed that there was a significant excess of general aggression, physical aggression and the affective component of aggressive behavior (anger) in adolescent athletes compared to those athletes whose biological age was behind the passport one. Conclusion. The obtained data will allow developing recommendations for the system of medical and psychological support for adolescent athletes.

This study examines individual and contextual correlates of cigarette smoking in a randomly selected, community-based sample of low-income African American women. The study sample was selected by using a two-stage area probability sample design. Participants were recruited from > 12,000 housing units selected from 39 census tracts in the city of Detroit. Participants for this study include a total of 921 women who completed the baseline assessment of a randomized clinical trial aimed at improving the oral health of African American families. Past month prevalence of cigarette use and number of cigarettes smoked during this period. Data were analyzed with fixed-effects and multilevel statistics. Social support was the only variable associated, inversely, with current smoking. Self-reported feelings of anger were positively associated, though marginally, with current smoking. Between-neighborhood variance was small, and no neighborhood level variables were associated with cigarette smoking. Previously established risk factors did not predict cigarette use in this randomly selected, community-based sample of low-income African American women. Further research is needed to identify risk and protective factors that might be unique to low-income African American populations in order to better inform preventive and cessation interventions.

This paper aims to explore the dynamics of personality influenced by lust in Islamic psychology and its relevance to Sigmund Freud's personality structure. To explore the topic, the authors use qualitative literature research with descriptive analysis. The results of current study are. First, the three kinds of human lust in the Qur'an which include anger, lawwamah, and mutmainnah are psychic energies that determine a person's behavior as applicable in Sigmund Freud's psychoanalysis. Second, the relevance between lust and Id lies in their primitive nature as basic lust for humans. In Islam, lust for anger has a negative connotation if it is not enhanced in the realm of lawwamah lust and mutmainnah lust. Whereas in Freud's theory, Id is more neutral because Id is the basis or foundation of personality that encourages humans to think logically and rationally at the level of ego and super ego. Besides, anger and Id are driven by human unconsciousness to fulfill their physical needs. Third, the relevance between the lust of lawwamah and Ego lies in rationality and logic in determining attitudes. Lust for lawwamah is very synonymous with realization. A person's consciousness which is dominated by the lust of lawwamah and the ego is still in a subconscious level. Fourth, the relevance between lust mutmainnah and superego lies in controlling attitudes based on applicable rules or norms. In Islam, there are syariah (laws) that must be considered in taking a position in the realm of Id, and Ego. By practicing the syariah, a person is declared to have full awareness.

Gratitude, anger and the horror of asymmetry
