Frustration;
In psychology,
frustration is a common
emotional response to opposition. Related to
anger and
disappointment, it arises from the perceived resistance to the fulfillment of individual
will. The greater the obstruction, and the greater the will, the more the frustration is likely to be. While coping with frustration, some individuals may engage in
passive–aggressive behavior, making it difficult to identify the original cause(s) of their frustration, as the responses are indirect. A more direct, and common response, is a propensity towards aggression.
