The Why? Curve

Why Are We All So Angry?


Listen Later

Rage is on the rise. On social media, on our roads, outside migrant hotels - things are getting under our skin that once would have caused mild irritation, and now lead to blind fury. Are we a more aggressive society? Or do we just feel more able to express it? Or are there more things to be angry about? Dr Nadja Heym is associate professor in Personality Psychology and Psychopathology at Nottingham Trent University, and she tells Phil and Roger the boundaries of acceptable anger seem to be changing.
