We all feel angry at times – it’s part of being human. Anger is a normal, healthy emotion we might experience if we feel attacked, deceived, frustrated, invalidated, or unfairly treated. Anger can sometimes be helpful as it helps us identify problems or things hurting us, motivates us to create change, and helps us stay safe and defend ourselves in dangerous situations. Anger only becomes a problem when it gets out of control and harms you or the people around you. The Novaco Anger Scale evaluates how you go through anger and the type of events or circumstances that will lead to angry outbursts. It analyzes elements including aggression, arousal, irritability, and the ability to calm down in emotional situations.
