THE RELATION BETWEEN STRESS AND ANGER MANAGEMENT IN PEOPLE WITH HYPERCHOLESTEROLEMIA

Abstract

ABSTRACT. An individual’s relationship with the exterior is considered to be a generating source of positive and negative emotions. Anger as a negative emotion implies the existence of a triggering factor. Stress is a cause of the onset of negative emotions with implications in numerous psychosomatic disorders. The study shows that in case of people suffering from hypercholesterolemia, interpersonal relationships, the environment, professional activity, time management, lifestyle and self-harm, as sources and areas of stress manifestation, are strongly related to anger as a state and as a trait, which implies that the lack of privacy in the psychological space, feelings of personal failure, culpability, disappointments, inability of work and time management, imbalance between activity and rest generate subjective experiences of anger, or as a disposition of perceiving situations as irritating and acting accordingly.
