Is there or can there be a physiological reason why people take their anger out on other people?

Asked by nebule (16452points) November 26th, 2009

I’m not talking about physical abuse here because I think that’s a whole deeper discussion…I’m talking about verbal abuse mainly. Verbal insults, shouting, raising voices, swear words…seem a much more common form of peoples expression of anger to me.

Do you know if there is a physical reason why people need to express anger and often do it through words, raising their voices etc?

Do you think that verbal release of anger is only a step away from the physical form of abuse anyway?

Is it an effective form of anger release? Are other forms of getting rid of anger as effective as anger expressed to/ at other people? if you believe it is…?
