If you are a gamer then you know what it is to be so frustrated that it pushes you to the point to act out of anger by (Rage quitting or screaming mean things into the screen and mic). This effect is know that Frustration-Aggression Hypothesis this posits “theory suggests that frustration—anything that prevents us from reaching goals we are seeking—leads to the arousal of a drive whose primary goal is that of harming some person or object—particularly the perceived cause of frustration” (Branscombe, 2016). This theory suggests that frustration is the only source of aggression (Branscombe, 2016). Something that I personally do to help with my frustration is to break a cup in glass using a hammer, this helps with releasing the frustration. I also like to build up a scream and yell Santa mozzarella (in an Italian accent) into the sky. The silliness of the idea of someone yelling santa mozzarella using an italian accent into the sky is something that might help with someone’s frustration. I did not know this at first but i was engaging in what Brascombe (2016) describes as “inducing thoughts and feelings that are incompatible with anger or aggression”
Branscombe (2016) mentions the technique of counting to ten, the idea is to divert thought of frustration to something that is inconsistent with the thoughts of frustration. Learning how to divert attention away from frustration can be beneficial to everyone as it can help people avoid conflict. I feel like this is a technique that is not talked about enough or taught to us to as children or adults.
