Our fear or anger results from our appraisal of a particular situation, which in turn depends on the beliefs we hold, the thought processes we use, the attitudes we practice, and the way we look at things. Thought Processes Commonly Leading to Anger Selective Perception – We only perceive what we want (expect) to perceive. Making Unverified Assumptions – We believe what we think the person meant, without verifying whether that was what they actually meant. Dramatizing – We dramatize events in our own mind, and we look for the worst possible interpretation. Defiance – We take an aggressively noncompliant position. Over generalizing – We read more into things than what is meant.
