The Assessment Component in Anger Management
The following scales are included.
Interpersonal Assertion.
- This scale indicates how effectively
individuals use direct, honest, and appropriate expression of thoughts,
feelings, and behaviors when dealing with others. It indicates the
degree to which one is able to be direct and honest in communicating
with others without violating their rights.
- Interpersonal Aggression.
This scale assesses the degree to which communication styles violate,
overpower, dominate, or discredit another person's rights, thoughts,
feelings, or behaviors. High interpersonal aggression is related to
personality characteristics of rebelliousness, resentment, and
oversensitive response to real or imagined affronts.
- Interpersonal
Deference. This scale measures the degree to which communication style
is indirect, self-inhibiting, self-denying, and ineffectual for the
accurate expression of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. High
interpersonal deference is related to the personality characteristics
of apprehensiveness, shyness, and over-sensitivity to threat or
conflict.
- Empathy. This scale indicates individuals. Abilities to
sense, understand, and accept another person's thoughts, feelings, and
behaviors. A strong sense of others. Feelings and emotions is a key
element to anger management. Empathy is a primary characteristic of
skilled communicators. Persons with strong empathy tend to be sociable
and outgoing.
- Stress Management. This scale assesses perceived skill in
managing stress and anxiety. Anger that results in violence is usually
triggered by a stressful event that is not appropriately managed.
Persons with skills in managing stress positively are competent
managers of time and are flexible, self-assured, stable, and
self-reliant.
- Change Orientation. This scale indicates the degree of
motivation and readiness for change in the skills measured by The Anger
Management Map.
A high score indicates dissatisfaction with current
skills and a strong conviction of the need to make personal changes.
Anyone who completes the above assessment honestly, will learn a
meaningful lesson in the process. Therefore, it can be safely said that
learning takes place from the very first encounter with a certified
anger management provider
