You can express anger after counting to 10 by making a clear, calm, and simple statement indicating you are feelings angry and describing, nonjudgmentally, precisely what the other person did to bring about those feelings. It"s important that you speak in a way that doesn"t cause your listener to become defensive or counterattack. If participants were angry w their partner, they expected that their partner would react more positively if they, themselves, expressed their anger in positive, constructive ways. On the contrary, people expected that if they expressed anger in negative ways (ex. with direct or indirect aggression), their partner would be likely to respond in negative ways. Formal training in communication and problem solving can be an effective means of reducing aggression.
