University of X: Psychology Assessment 4 - Emotion Record Sheet: Anger

This assignment is an emotion record sheet focusing on the emotion of anger. The student has documented five different situations where they experienced anger, detailing the context (what happened, where, when, and who was involved), the intensity of the emotion, and the somatic sensations experienced. The student also records their thoughts during these moments, their coping mechanisms, and the resulting behaviors. The analysis includes reflections on the impact of the behavior on others and how others might respond to the same emotion, providing a comprehensive view of the student's emotional responses and coping strategies. This record sheet is designed to help the student understand the triggers, manifestations, and management of their anger, contributing to their self-awareness and emotional intelligence, as required for the reflective journal element of the assessment.

When I get lower

negative reflection
about myself
I cope up by telling to my self to study
with better force next time.
“ I am a failure”
“If others can score more than why I
can’t score better grades”.
I decide to stay relaxed and I read
motivation books.
When my parents
shout on me.
10 I thought why they are
shouting. I am right
from my perspective.
I tell to myself that my parents are
more mature and experience then me.
They are right and I should obey
them.
“ My parents love me, I should do what
they are saying”.
When my parents start shouting
on me then for few minutes I
develop negative thoughts.
When I fail to
accomplish my
personal goals
8 I can not able to sleep
when I failed in
accomplishing task
I tell to my self to read book and talk
with mature people because they can
figure out your mistakes.
“I am an idiot”.
“I always waste my time”.
Whenever I fail to wake up on
time. This emotion develops in
me.
When I get loss in
stock exchange
10 I can not able to
concentrate on my
studies and other works.
I cope up by thinking that next time I
will study start before purchasing any
shares.
“I am not Warren Buffet then I always
think that I will win”.
This kind of thought starts developing.
I do not trade daily, I trade rarely
but whenever I encounter with
loss then I gets angry on myself.
When my friends talk
with me rudely
9 I always think about the
fight
I started preparing surprise for them.
In this way I cope up with this action.
“It was not my mistake, He should
apologize to me first”.
He wants to watch different
movie and I want to watch
another. We indulge in fight on
such issues
As you record instances of your chosen emotion:
 Consider the impact you (or your behaviour) may have on others in these moments
 Notice as well how others may be experiencing and responding to the same emotion
This will be useful for the reflective journal element of the assessment.
