Case study on Anger

Management of Dawoodi
Bohra Community

Abstract
Although research indicates that anger management is
generally effective, much focus has been placed in this paper
on the differences in age, and gender that affects the intensity
and management of anger according to these two factors. The
purpose of this project was to examine the different causes
and effects of anger management in the Dawoodi Bohra
community and how it could be overcome through different
techniques in divergent age groups, and genders. The study is
primarily based research on responses given using a Google
Form by participants of various ages, professions, and
genders. Based on such responses, anger management was
examined.

Introduction
Throughout the years, researchers have found that
interpersonal problems affect the physical emotional, and
psychological reactions in different age groups and gender.
Even though there may be differences between these two
groups in certain aspects, irritation is still a commonality that
leads directly toward the violations of one’s values, beliefs, or
rights. Anger becomes a problem when it is expressed in ways
that are harmful to oneself or other people, or when it is
exhibited too frequently, intensely, or over an extended period
of time. For instance, chronically repressed anger is linked to
greater blood pressure.
Researchers have discovered that poorly controlled anger is
linked to a sedentary lifestyle (increased intake of food,
alcohol, cigarettes, and narcotics) and illnesses including
hypertension, coronary heart disease, cancer, and depression.
Researchers stand out to progress in years contrasts in the
experience and articulation of outrage. In most annoyance
studies, youthful grown-ups, prevalently understudies, have
been examined, restricting the generalizability of the
discoveries to more seasoned populaces. It is conceivable that
with age and experience, individuals have less extreme
outrage or figure out how to usefully oversee it more.
Therefore, the objective of this study is to investigate how age
difference affects anger management.

Method
A web survey created with a Google Form
(https://forms.gle/HxW4KR5KrGxK97Af8 ) and distributed
to various age groups via email and other social media
platforms served as the method for conducting the study. To
make the audience feel more comfortable, the Google form
had three sets of qualitative questions with quantitative
options to answer, each under a different heading.
To comprehend the psychology of both men and women
regarding the emotion of anger, we also conducted interviews
with individuals of various ages while conducting the study.
Five interviews were recorded in total. The actions of people
while they are furious or offended are another approach
Mumineen uses to guess and consider anger management, and
the experiences Mumineen provided with us helped to extract
the true data. The technique of observation was also used to
understand Mumineen’s thinking and ideology behind their
anger. 

Results
In the survey form filled we received an overwhelming
response from 102 Mumineen who had filled the survey with
their feedback out of which 40 were Females and 62 were
male Mumineen.

We had asked the following questions in the survey and have

received responses from Mumineen staying in big cities
across India like Surat, Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur, Bangalore,
etc.
 1. Anger Status
2. Anger Scale
3. Emotion behind Anger
4. Factors behind Anger
5. Factors triggering Anger
6. Anger-related stress
7. Anger affects
8. Reaction while angry
9. Factors controlling Anger
The sample was divided into age cohorts: 10-18 (adolescent),
18-25 (youth), 25-35 (young adults), 35-45 (senior adults),
and 45-55 (old age). Using this analysis, we found out that the
most outrage occurs in the age of 10-25, and gradually it
decreases throughout life but at the age of 45-55, the emotions
of anger and its intensity increase due to the incoming of
oldness in mind and body.

A survey speaks that the “volume of the brain and/or its

weight declines with age at a rate of around 5% per decade
after age 401”. There are also physical changes in the whole
body as research states that after the age of 40, due to changes
in our bones, muscles, and joints, we lose around half an inch
in height every ten years. Some of the women also suffer from
Menopause after their 40s.2 The study reflects the different
anger transformations in various stages of life.

There was a significant difference in the anger factor between

male and female Mumineen. Around 60% of Mumineen (40
out of 62) rage out in anger due to experiencing injustice,
while 45% (18 out of 40) of Mumenaat’s anger comes out due
to "recollecting of negative experiences and
underappreciation." The majority of Mumineen and
Mumenaat's anger, according to our analysis of the entire
study, is brought on by being disrespected and facing
injustice.

According to the poll, 20% of Mumineen (18 out of 62)
express their anger by using silence, whereas 50% of
Mumenaat express their anger by using flight mode, and 17%
express it by using quiet. To deal with anger, the majority of
Mumineen use the silence and flight strategy. 

Discussion and Conclusion

Based on the replies of Muslim respondents to all of the
aforementioned survey questions, we may infer the following
findings regarding the results:
Mumineen are not always angry; sometimes they are, with an
anger scale of more than 5, indicating that when they are
angry, their anger is on the higher rating scale. However, this
anger has little to no impact on their personal lives because
they do not feel stressed as a result of their anger, and, more
importantly, it does not physically harm them because they
choose to keep their mouths shut and leave the situation.
Additionally, Mumineen made the point that it is very
common and simple for people to control their anger during
conflicts.
This case study demonstrates unequivocally that Mumineen
does not easily become angry and that, when they do, they
respond by remaining calm. I believe that this is only possible
because of the hadeeth Mubarak of Rasulullah (saw):

“‫”فإذا غضبت فاسكت عن شر‬

And our Aqua Maula, His Holiness Syedna Mufaddal
Saifuddin (TUS) who has taught us the proper way to handle
anger and prevent its negative effects on our lives.
May Allah (taala) grant him healthy and prosperous life till
the day of judgment. Aameen.
