I chose to do this project on anger because for me, it is the most frequent fault I commit. In addition, it is the hardest one for me to avoid, which makes it one of the most distinctive sins to me.

Thus, it can be said that anger decreases psychological well-being and on the other hand increases psychological distress through activating and increasing anger rumination.
